Het geëngageerde oeuvre van Pélagie Gbaguidi

In deze publicatie toont Pélagie Gbaguidi (°1965) nieuwe schilderijen, werken met textiel en tekeningen. De kunstenares ziet zichzelf als een hedendaagse ‘griot’, iemand die het individuele geheugen en het voorouderlijke verleden met elkaar verbindt. Haar werk is een lezing van de tekenen en sporen van trauma en gaat de confrontatie aan met koloniale en postkoloniale geschiedenissen. Ze hercontextualiseert archieven en verhalen om het proce...

In een klein museum in Parijs hangt een reeks van zes wandtapijten: De Dame met de Eenhoorn. Deze middeleeuwse schat prikkelt al eeuwenlang de verbeelding.

In deze rijk geïllustreerde uitgave onderzoekt de schrijfster, die zich lang en intensief met de wandkleden heeft beziggehouden, de betekenis van de voorstellingen op de kleden. Haar ontdekking is dat de wandkleden het verhaal vertellen van een inwijdingsweg - een loutering van de ziel.

Murillo.

Mena’s contributions to Spanish Baroque

sculpture are unsurpassed in both technical

skill and expressiveness of his religious

subjects. His ability to sculpt the human body

was remarkable, and he excelled in creating

figures and scenes for contemplation.

The definitive monograph on the work of sculptor, installation artist, and Arte Povera pioneer Luciano Fabro

The most comprehensive monograph available on the greatest living glassblower, Lino Tagliapietra

Beginning in the 1950s, Lois Dodd has steadfastly pursued her observational painting, remaining aloof from passing trends. Through extensive studio visits and interviews, Faye Hirsch considers the processes, places and impulses behind Dodd’s paintings in this monograph on the artist.

With Water on Water, the last of three publications, Dutch artist Joost de Jonge brings his decade-long project, “Painted Poetry & Painterly Poetics – an ekphrastic notion,” to a thunderous conclusion. The weighty volume, brimming with writing from around the globe and rich in the work of de Jonge himself, investigates and celebrates that “ekphrastic notion” by surveying possibilities for cross-disciplinary influence and address.

So much work in multi- and intermedia, from the Wagne...

“…when I paint, I lose track of time and I step outside myself to a certain degree. While making a series of paintings I can’t even remember what happens during the days.“

For an artist who paints without a preconceived plan Harry Markusse is very well organised. On his ‘quests for a pleasing relationship between colour, form and space’ he makes sure that circumstances are such -in time and space- that the right conditions are present. This way he can afford to lose track of ti...
