Nils Nova

Nils Nova Work from his oeuvre. “…is a devotee to painting, although his artistic talent is not limited to this genre. Nova paints, above all abstract, makes Videos, takes photographs and creates large scale wall or room based installations. He juggles with the tools of almost all the media available to an artist today, avoiding […]

Igor Eskinja

Igor Eskinja Work from his oeuvre. “Igor Eskinja constructs his architectonics of perception as ensembles of modesty and elegance. The artist “performs” the objects and situations, catching them in their intimate and silent transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional formal appearance. Using simple, inexpensive materials, such as adhesive tape or electric cables and unraveling them with […]

Xavier Veilhan

Xavier Veilhan Work from his oeuvre. “Whether he uses digital photography, sculpture, public statuary, video, installations or even the art of the exhibition, Xavier Veilhan builds his work around the same axis: the possibilities of representation. One of the most striking features of his polymorphic practice is that he treats generic objects and shapes of […]

Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries

Yoshioka Tokujin

Yoshioka Tokujin Work from Sensing Nature (that resembles the fortress of solitude). “Japanese culture and art has always been in a close relationship with nature. In Japan, the word “shizen” was selected at the end of the 19th century as the most appropriate translation of the English word “Nature.” Originally, words such as “shinrabansho” and […]

Ahmet Öğüt

Ahmet Öğüt Works from his oeuvre. “Ogut’s work is an explication of the rights of the individual and the expression of those rights in the face of the requirements of the state. The consequent struggle to make do and live with a sense of self-will sets into motion what might be called game-life. In game-life, the […]

Georges Rousse

Georges Rousse Work from his oeuvre. Below is an excerpt from Rousse’s correspondences with Canadian Art Historian, Jocelyne Lupien. Paris, January 9, 2000 Good evening Jocelyne, Your letter has got me thinking about the camera, it makes me wonder about the meaning and evolution of my works over the years. I do not have your scientific or […]

Marina Gadonneix

Marina Gadonneix Work from Removed Landscapes. “It does not seem very daring to describe Marina Gadonneix’s pictures as being depopulated. The emptiness of the places she presents, one after another, demonstrates – if not a preliminary rule characterizing the whole series, a constant which is merely foiled by rare, always ethereal apparitions. Here, a mannequin […]
