Paparoni Demetrio Livres

A massive survey of the disquieting paintings of Austrian provocateur Gottfried Helnwein This substantial volume is the most complete monograph to date on the work of the provocative Austrian painter, photographer, filmmaker, performer and set designer Gottfried Helnwein (born 1948). Helwein's work--whether it be his hyperrealistic images of distressed children or his bandaged self-portraits--expresses a traumatic human condition barely suppressed by the conventions of polite society. His unflinching approach to his subject matter has earned him prominent fans and detractors alike. As Klaus Schröder, director of the Albertina Museum in Vienna puts it, "Gottfried Helnwein shakes people at their core." Edited by art critic Demetrio Paparoni, Gottfriend Helnwein: The Epiphany of the Displaced features a preface by the actor Sean Penn, essays by Schröder and gallerist Martin Muller, and an interview with the artist conducted by experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats.

Vibeke Slyngstad attracted international attention while taking part in the Nordic and Danish pavilions at the 2009 Venice Biennale. The relationship of this artist's work with rationalist architecture and with nature makes him one of the most interesting figures of Norwegian art. His intimist painting emerges in this publication that gathers for the first time his entire body of works, from the late 1990s to his latest paintings, inspired by the effects of the terror attacks in Oslo on 22 July 2011. Vibeke Slyngstad (b. 1968) completed her studies at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 1994. Since then she has participated in several exhibitions and her works have been acquired by several key collections, including the National Museum of Art in Oslo. This is her first museum exhibition, curated to reflect her artistic work from the early 1990s up to the present day. Slyngstad's figurative paintings reveal how our perception of reality has already been mediated through film and digital images. Her compositions are reminiscent of film stills or images created through photographic optics. In addition, they exhibit a penetrating light that creates a sense of weightlessness and transparency.

The starting point for Dietrichson?s works is architecture but detached from scale and human scale. The artist?s interest is the spatial, the angular, the geometric.0Shapes create utopian imagery in the form of sculpture, watercolour or silkscreens of levitating building elements or sculptures and installations in public spaces. The book is divided into four chapters, with a brief introductory text. Art historian Øivind Storm Bjerke writes about Dietrichson?s watercolours, curator Karl Olav Segrov Mortensen about sculptures, and writer Maria Moseng about the silkscreens, while the art critic Arve Rød describes the artist?s public art projects.00Exhibition: Haugar Art Museum, Tønsberg, Norway (26.01.-07.04.2019)

Laurent Reypens explores the infinite formal combinations of a single object? the Royal Boch white glass bowl? which he repeatedly features on his canvas, making it the preferred image in his representations. 00 In his paintings the bowl ceases to be an ordinary tabletop recipient and becomes a concave semisphere with a subtle circular base; a pure and sensual shape that is able to absorb and restore light, acquire volume with shadows and re-emerge within the space of the painting through new combinations. Reypens does not overshadow the functional use of the object: we always recognize the bowl in his works. For him, the bowl is the basic constitutive unit of a whole, through which he can describe light and colour, reflect on the meaning of painting and explore certain experiences of modern art, with its rules of symmetry and spatial scansion, later turning to narrative.
