F R A N C I S P I C A B I A , oil on canvas, 1935

Deze belangrijke dadaïst stond bekend als een schilder met een bewust grillig oeuvre. Eerst leidde hij een soort machinecultus, waarin hij zijn erotische mythen rond de technologie gestalte gaf. Vervolgens legde hij zich toe op verschillende schilderstijlen. Hij wisselde zeer vaak van stijl, waarbij hij dan telkens met de vorige brak. Francis Picabia wordt de Columbus van de kunst genoemd, zonder kompas. Het werk Orion is gebaseerd op een mythologisch verhaal waarin de jaloerse schoonmoeder haar toekomstige, al te mooie schoonzoon blind maakt. De als De Denker van Rodin voorgestelde man lijkt verdacht veel op de Franse schrijver en kunstcriticus André Breton.

------------------------------------

This important Dadaist painter was famous for his intentionally whimsical oeuvre. At first, he instigated some sort of machine cult, realizing his erotic myths about technology. After that, he dedicated himself to a variety of painting styles. He often altered his style, completely abandoning one style for the next. Francis Picabia was referred to as the Columbus of art, but without a compass. His piece Orion concerns the mythological tale of a jealous mother-in-law blinding her all too handsome future son-in-law. The man representing Rodin’s The Thinker bears a remarkable resemblance to the French writer and art critic

J O N A T H A N M E E S E, mixed media, 2008.

Zowel verbaal als non-verbaal creëert Jonathan Meese een artistieke chaos, waarbij hij aandacht trekt met expliciete symbolen en woordgebruik. Veelzijdige sociale en politieke problematiek worden als onderwerp gehanteerd, doch nooit in een letterlijke zin. Elke vorm van esthetica is verwerpelijk en de provocatieve schreeuw is wat telt in zijn werk. Met een hoop ironie ridiculiseert hij praktisch elke ideologie die deze wereld gekend heeft, echter de enige ware ideologie voor hem is de kracht van kunst.

-----------------------------------

Both verbally and non-verbally, Jonathan Meese creates an artistic chaos, drawing attention with explicit symbols and word usage. A diversity of social and political issues are used as subjects, though never in a literal sense. Any kind of aesthetics is reprehensible and the provocative scream is what counts in his work. With a lot of irony he ridicules practically every ideology this world has known, but the only true ideology for him is the power of art.

Frank Stella ontweek emotie door gebruik te maken van eenvoudige verven en kwasten. Met zijn colorfield paintings gaf hij de indruk te werken als een huisschilder. Stella weigerde verf uit te strijken om te verleiden en drukte zich objectief uit. Cieszowa is gemaakt op een drager, gevormd naar zijn lijnen (shaped canvas), waardoor hij des te meer zijn gevoel voor kleur en lijnvoering heeft kunnen benadrukken. Met zijn monochrome streepschilderijen beheerst hij de post painterly abstraction. Zijn symmetrische patronen geven een kunstmatige indruk en werken moedwillig destructief.

Frank Stella shunned emotion by using simple types of paint and brushes. His colorfield paintings gave the impression he worked as a house painter. Stella refused to spread paint in order to seduce and expressed himself objectively. Cieszowa is made on a wooden panel, shaped according to his lines (shaped canvas), enabling him to emphasize his feeling for colours and lines even more. His paintings of monochrome lines illustrate his mastery of post-painterly abstraction. The symmetrical patterns create an artificial impression and have an intentionally destructive effect.

P O L B U R Y, mixed media – 1982

Het is onder een anonieme stilte dat vormen uiterst traag bewegen. De eenvoud achter dit trage gebeuren dwingt tot meditatie. De geometrische vormen van Bury bewegen op een even raadselachtige manier als de met het oog onwaarneembare verschuivingen van het planetenstelsel. Perspective avec cylindres is een zeer langzame beweging van kleine kolommen. Met zijn kinetische kunst dwingt de kunstenaar de kijker met eenzelfde traagheid het visuele gebeuren waar te nemen.
___________________

Shapes move very slowly and in anonymous silence. The simplicity behind this slow process commands meditation. Bury’s geometric shapes move in the same mysterious manner as the unperceivable movements of our planetary system. Perspective Avec Cylinders demonstrates the extremely slow movements of small columns. Bury’s kinetic art forces the observer to perceive this visual process at the same slow pace.

Andy Warhol, Some Men Need Help, original – 1982, certified

Weinigen weten dat Andy Warhol naast zijn vele zeefdrukken met inkt en acryl op doek en papier, ook bijzondere affiches heeft ontworpen. Dit oeuvre is zeldzaam en bestaat vooral uit kleurrijke gezeefde collages.

Het hierboven afgebeeld kunstwerk portretteert Philip Bosco en Treat Williams in het toneelstuk ‘Some Men Need Help’, New York 28 oktober 1982. Met diezelfde hoofdrolspelers creëerde Andy Warhol, en dit naar gewoonte, nog meerdere collages – dan wel telkens ander en uniek werk. Deze werken bestaan uit vele kleurvlakken, die als regenbogen in elkaar smelten en overheen de portretten vloeien vele expressieve contourlijnen. De collages van de jaren 80 behoren tot zijn meest verfijnde zeefdrukken van zijn ganse oeuvre.

----------------------------------

Few know that beside his many silk-screen prints with ink and acrylic on canvas and paper, Andy Warhol also designed special posters. This oeuvre is rare and mainly consists of colourful silkscreen collages.

The artwork depicted above, portrays Philip Bosco and Treat Williams in the play ‘Some Men Need Help’, New York 28th October 1982. With the same protagonists Andy Warhol created, as usual, several more collages – each time different and unique works. These artworks exist of many colour fields that melt into each other like rainbows and many expressive contour lines flow over the portraits. The collages of the 1980s are among his most refined screen prints in his entire oeuvre.

Painting by Erró from 1990.
The imagery of comic books inspired this Icelandic artist for many of his creations. And a big influence of pop art, to which he belongs as well.

Oil painting by Jean Rustin from 1992-97 @ainternationalgallery
This French artist changed his style from abstract to figurative during the 70s. Nudity in a very non-erotic way, rather a bit shocking for some...

Criticizing the art market. Do we forget to appreciate the talent of artists, expect the right context and the quality? There might be too much attention for the high prices, and in some cases they are not even justified.

Double artwork, graphite on paper, by Vahakn Arsla

Double artwork, graphite on paper, by Vahakn Arslanian from 2003-2004. @ainternationalgallery
Born in Belgium, living and working in USA. This artist searches for the balance between destruction and creation. He uses elements of daily life that fascinates him like birds, glass, candles,... Interesting detail: he burned the paper for the flames of the candles instead of drawing them.

Oil on canvas by Hans Fohan from 2008. @ainternationalgallery Since the beginning of the 21st century he reduced his painting style to the essence that remains! This Belgian artist called his series of minimalist paintings 'The Spot', drawn with precision! I also like to label them as 'Amor Vacui', the embracement of emptiness!

'De Visitatie' by Philippe Vandenberg from 1986. @

'De Visitatie' by Philippe Vandenberg from 1986. @ainternationalgallery His style from the 80's was leaning towards Neo-expressionism, with the well known Neue Wilde in Germany. Yet he was always an individual in the art scene, looking for renewing elements! After the drastic choice of ending his life in 2009, he is gaining more and more international attention and appreciation!
A retrospective of his work is now shown at @hamburger.kunsthalle

Artwork by Claude Viallat. Probably the best known artist from the french movement 'supports/surfaces'. Devoted to his principles, he made his style his signature.
