always a great idea to ask a clever artist to curate his "dream" show, his choices are very peculiar and show how of an art lover he is - but his own art is, at best, Vuillard/ bonnard/Munch derivative, middle of the road decorative expressionism..for sure we all know how it is hard to make relevant figurative painting nowadays after all those massive genius who came before our time..
@@jeandupas-q2kI think derivative is a stretch. I wouldn’t necessarily call him the most inventive living artist, and I doubt he would describe that as his ambition. His focus is great painting. But there’s a massive gap between not innovating tremendously and derivation.
@@JorgenVonStrngle it's the risk doing "expressionnist figurative" painting, it's already been done at each levels possibles of human feeling, moods, psychology and styles, their nothing intimate or personnel worth being painted anymore on this road (imo). that being say each era need its painters i guess, and collectors who are not artists don't care about the relevancy, weight of the works they just throw the classic "oh it's beautiful" and buy.... but fellow artists knows the facts
Great talk. Any chance you guys could change the view so the view of the art is big and the speaker is small? For future talks.
