Abstract

Tim Van Laere Gallery is pleased to present Pink Period, the third solo exhibition by Anton Henning. Few colors trigger as many contradictory associations and emotions or have as many symbolic meanings in both high as low culture as pink. The same tension and duality can also be found in the works by Anton Henning. If we consider Art History as an ongoing conversation, Anton Henning (°1964 Berlin, lives and works in Berlin and Manker) proves himself to be a master conversationalist who speaks various different languages. His oeuvre comprises paintings, sculptures, drawings, films, photographs, musical pieces and entire environments. His oeuvre could be read as a contemporary interpretation of the Gesamtkunstwerk. Focussing equally on the search as well as the outcome, he creates a hybrid pictorial event, an anarchy of images liberated from the gravity of the isms in art history. With his motif repertory, material choices, stylistic devices and playful reinventions of the genre types, Henning doesn?t simply quote from art history, but he playfully looks for painterly potential through his own pictorial memory which has remained delitescent, discarding all spatial, temporal, and ideational contexts. He moves between modern enthusiasm and postmodern irony, between hope and melancholy, between naiveté and knowledge, empathy and apathy, unity and diversity, totality and fragmentation, purity and ambiguity.

Abstract

Op het eerste gezicht staan de potten van Grayson Perry in de eeuwenoude traditie van klassieke vazen die gedecoreerd zijn met figuren. Ze ogen aantrekkelijk, vol kleur en overladen met plaatjes, inscripties en versiersels. Het venijn zit hem in de aard van de decoraties : ze gaan over uiteenlopende, meer of minder autobiografische thema's, vormgegeven met een bijtende ironie en vol abjecte en confronterende details. Het is vooral de combinatie van de onschuldige, tuttige, handgemaakte decoratieve pot en deze shockerende beelden die opzien baart. De voorstellingen lopen in onderwerp uiteen, van Perry' jeugd in Essex, zijn travestie, tot commentaar op de Britse kunstwereld. Perry maakte begin jaren tachtig deel uit van de Neonaturisten in Londen, een kunsteaarsgroep die tegendraadse, bewust a-modieuze performances hield. In dezelfde geest vervaardigde hij films, maar al snel legde hij zich toe op potten, waarmee hij in 1985 een eerste succesvolle expositie had. Juist het heersende idee dat dergelijk werk geen hoge kunst kan zijn, paste binnen het recalcitrante Neonaturistische gedachtegoed. Vanuit een gelijksoortige visie zijn de geborduurde quilts ontstaan. Daarnaast heeft Perry zich toegelegd op een vorm van anti-celebrity fotografie waarin hij als Claire stralend poseert in zelfgemaakte kostuums. In Guerrilla Tactics, de eerste monografie over Grayson Perry wordt zijn provocerende en veelzijdige oeuvre belicht door critica Louisa Buck en kunsthistorici Marjan Boot en Andrew Wilson.
