Abstract

Rinus Van de Velde (°1983) heeft de afgelopen jaren opvallende stappen gezet in de ontwikkeling van zijn oeuvre. Terwijl hij aan het begin van zijn carrière vooral bekendstond om zijn grootschalige houtskooltekeningen profileert hij zich nu als een totaalkunstenaar, door het gebruik van verschillende media zoals tekenen, sculpturen, installaties en film. Het werk van Van de Velde speelt met de spanning tussen realiteit en fictie en creëert een complexe wereld waarin documentatie en fictie, reproductie en reconstructie onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden zijn. Aanvankelijk werden gevonden foto’s en afbeeldingen als basis voor de tekeningen gebruikt, maar Van de Velde ging op zoek naar een manier om meer grip te krijgen op de beelden. Dat bereikte hij door een uitgebreid proces van decorbouw, waarbij hij zichzelf en personen uit zijn directe omgeving in verschillende rollen en personages castte om in te passen in de verhaallijn van zijn fictieve autobiografie. Die decors werden levensgroot uitgebouwd, waarbij zelfs het kleinste detail werd nagemaakt in hout en karton. Dit is de eerste publicatie die een diepgaand inzicht biedt in het ontstaansproces van zijn decors, videowerk, tekeningen en sculpturen. Tientallen foto’s tonen de kunstenaar en zijn team in zijn studio terwijl ze in de weer zijn met decorstukken, ambitieuze filmsets bouwen, tracking shots maken enzovoort. I’d rather stay at home, …verschijnt naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige soloshow in Kunstmuseum Luzern in Zwitserland, van 2 maart tot 20 juni 2021.

Abstract

Walter Swennen (1946), ce Bruxellois qui a choisi de vivre à Anvers, est connu comme peintre atypique dans la modernité, même si l'humour et le sens critique qu'il développe ne sont pas sans affinité avec cette distance protectrice si caractéristique d'une part de la création de chez nous. Voici qu'en cet ouvrage, il livre plus de 200 croquis couleurs, pratiquement à l'état brut. Un face-à-face avec les premiers jets, toujours un peu sauvages, rapides, dédaignant toute application, et dont l'auteur du petit texte qui accompagne ce florilège, le critique Jan Florizonne, dit qu'ils «donnent le sentiment d'une ligne de conduite primitive». Des mots parfois, des figures drôles ou graves, des tracés nerveux au bic, des notes au pinceau... un univers souvent énigmatique dans lequel on puisera selon son humeur, et qui révèle surtout l'étonnante dispersion de ce que l'on a longtemps nommé l'inspiration, qui est en fait l'intuition ou le Pif, pour reprendre le titre de l'ouvrage.

Abstract

The best introduction to Carole Vanderlinden's work is explaining how it was created. It's probably easier to read her work if you know how it came to life. Many artists take inspiration from existing works of art they've generally come into contact with when growing up, often in books or magazines, sometimes in museums and galleries. Carole Vanderlinden loves to read and to leaf through books, but her main interest is visiting museums of ancient or ethnographic art. In general, she looks for any event, drawing, object, pattern, colour and rhythm that speaks to her. Joining her on two of these trips of discovery, once in Brussels and once in Paris, she can be fascinated by the most diverse objects, such as a zigzag Navajo carpet, Egyptian alabaster Canopic jars dating back to 1500 BC, 18th-century glazed biscuit from Tournai or a herbarium. These objects and their colours and rhythms are copied in notebooks, often with an accompanying text. Later she might re-paint them on paper creating new combinations or compositions. These works on paper usually remain quite light, with a lot of cut-outs, like minimalist collages. In parallel Vanderlinden works on her paintings without any preconceived idea. Layer after layer the paintings try to avoid being controlled or supervised in any way. Sometimes we see patterns emerge that are familiar from her works on paper. These patterns are used as ways of countering a painting, destabilising it, recreating a balance or finishing it. During this practice, the patterns become more compact and dense. Slowly they merge with the stubborn texture of the painting. The book 'Mon seul désir' is a follow-up to 'Nocturne' (2013). It contains reproductions of works on paper by Carole Vanderlinden and an oniric essay of Hans Theys, inspired by Carole's works on paper and the medieval tapestry 'La dame à la licorne'.

Abstract

This book gathers an accumulation of tests and studies originally made on wooden panels by Charline Tyberghein since she graduated from the Royal Academy of Antwerp. Offering itself as a sort of library of spellbinding painting samples, it demonstrates the artist’s mastery of trompe l’oeil techniques and op art effects. Banal objects and universal symbols are claimed as the artist’s own to translate her most personal experiences, turning them into in a new, parallel language.

Abstract

Belgian artist David Claerbout (born 1969) is known for investigating the conceptual impact of the passage of time through his use of video and digital photography. His work skillfully interrogates both moving and still imagery to suggest an otherworldly level of existence, something that might refer to a specific place or event, but the timeline of which is not clear, oscillating between both past and present. His oeuvre is characterized by a meticulous attention to production details. With each of his projects Claerbout creates a small number of drawings, which help him to reflect upon and comprehend his concepts more thoroughly. Up to now, these works have not been afforded the attention they deserve. This publication addresses that oversight, presenting a comprehensive overview of Claerbout’s drawings created over a period of two decades. - from publisher.
