Abstract

In her short life, Ilse DHollander (19681997) created an intelligent, sensual and highly resonant body of work that continues to find receptive new audiences in the decades since her death. This exhibition, the gallerys first solo presentation of DHollanders work since announcing its representation of the artists estate, focuses on the rich dialogue between abstraction and representation in her work, giving special attention to the ways in which she coaxed evocations of place, light and weather into her modestly-scaled canvases and works on cardboard.

Abstract

Charlotte Salomon (Berlijn, 16 april 1917 Auschwitz, 10 oktober 1943) was een Joods-Duitse schilder. Als kind van geassimileerde Joodse ouders groeide zij op in Berlijn. Haar vader was arts, haar moeder pleegde zelfmoord toen Charlotte negen was, haar latere stiefmoeder was zangeres. In september 1936 werd Salomon toegelaten tot de kunstacademie. Toen zij een prijs beloofde te winnen, kwam uit dat ze Joods was en moest ze de kunstacademie verlaten.

In 1939, na de Kristallnacht, vluchtte ze op advies van haar vader en stiefmoeder naar haar grootouders die in Zuid-Frankrijk woonden. Op advies van een arts begon Salomon te schilderen. Zo ontstond de meer dan 1300 autobiografische gouaches tellende reeks Leben? oder Theater? Dit omvangrijke expressionistische kunstwerk rondde ze in 1942 af.

In het Vichy-Frankrijk waren Joden niet veilig. Samen met haar echtgenoot Alexander, een Joodse vluchteling uit Oostenrijk, werd ze op 24 september 1943 opgepakt en naar Auschwitz getransporteerd waar ze op 10 oktober 1943 werd vermoord. Zij was op dat ogenblik vijf maanden zwanger.

Abstract

Whether painting a mysterious bearded figure floating on a flat wash of blue or a winter landscape glimpsed through a thick web of branches, PETER DOIG harnesses the materiality of his medium to create what he calls "abstractions of memories", distilling recollected sensations into frozen moments, like scenes in a series of mysterious narratives. In Gasthof zur Muldentalsperre (2000-2) two costumed figures stand guard at a low stone wall while behind them a reservoir reflects a twinkling starry sky. The young man bundled up against the cold in Blotter (1993) contemplates his reflection in a frozen pond, while in Red Boat (Imaginary Boys) (2004) six men in white shirts navigate upstream through a dense tropical landscape.

Abstract

This beautiful volume focuses on a five-year period in Elizabeth Peyton's evolving career to suggest not only a visual chronicle of an age, its heroes, heroines, and interests, but also of an individual s life that of Peyton herself. Elizabeth Peyton's work has been acclaimed since the early 1990s, when she began exhibiting her intimate portraits of artists, musicians, historical figures, and friends. This new volume, prepared by the artist in collaboration with designer Brendan Dugan, founder of Karma bookstore and gallery, presents a concentrated view of a period bookended by two exhibitions in Brussels, one in 2009 and the second in 2014, a time of introspection, and the development of a more personal painterly language. This phase of Peyton's work is about a new realism and a considered situating of her interests and passions in relation to her own working practice. We see her range expand to take in lush still lifes composed of books, flowers, and fragmentary interiors; expressive, blooddrenched scenes drawn from Richard Wagner's operas; and many magnificent and subtle portraits of peers and mentors, historical or present-day. From David Bowie to celebrated tenor Jonas Kaufmann; from Delacroix and Giorgione to Peyton's artist peers such as Matthew Barney and Klara Liden; from 'Friday Night Lights' star Taylor Kitsch to tattoo artist Scott Campbell, as well as numerous self-portraits, her work is about narrowing the distance between the self and the object of fascination. "They are people expressing what it is to be human. Most art that s any good is trying to do that trying to put a voice to feeling. And in particular, the feeling of their time," writes Peyton.
