C A L V E R Still here (2019) Mixed cottons 180cm x 210cm Framed This piece is made very much in the light of a previous work titled ‘stone in focus’. It uses the great expanse of empty space or of what ‘is not there’ as a tool to emphasize the presence of the content that ‘is there’. The middle section of cotton is taken from an old wall hanging or flag that had the numbers ‘1841’ stitched in ribbon (the date from which the piece was originally constructed). Those numbers have been removed and carried forward into a separate work all together, but for this piece I was more interested in the contrast between a section of cotton that is so old (180 years) and holds a story in its very condition, in juxtaposition to the faultless artist cotton canvas fresh from the roll. The artist canvas acts as a kind of uncontaminated breathing space, the perfect ideology of a thinking space Lawrence Calver sees opportunities in the material before he creates the work. Each piece has an independent identity and in a parental role, Lawrence simply assists in that realisation. Lawrence is at his best working within a limited range of colour; preferring instead to exploit surface, texture and tonality.....

V A N D E B O S “My paintings evoke the modernist expressive way of handling material, however being a contemporary artist I am reinventing the possibilities of this language. My practice is one of discovering through making setting off with the confidence that an image can be transformed through painting and sculpture to find new images and metaphors. I have an ongoing fascination with the ambiguity of human form, the final works evoke subjects and situations that have continued to fascinate me after seeing films, reading newspapers and observations in daily life.” "The most impressive of the painters, however, seemed to me the most conventional in Modernist terms. Maarten van den Bos’s figurative paintings, in acrylic, emulsion and filler, have an energy in their rough outlines and even rougher textures that suggest there is still mileage in the De Kooning legacy." - Adrian Hamilton (The Independent) on Van de bos exhibition Dutch painter lives and works in London. @richeldisfineart @encountercontem #artist #abstract #modernist #painter maartenvandebos #dutch #emerging #master #linear #form #human #portrait #koonings #painterspainting

Z H A N G Catalogue of large scale artwork by gallery artist Emma Zhang DM to receive “For me, a lot of thoughtful, complex things will be avoided, and I think it's better to be simple and pure, and pull away from the so-called "meaning" of artistic expression.Critics always like to make art complicated, in fact, the artist is very simple when he/she is painting, sometimes he/she doesn't even think about it too much, painting sometimes is a kind of feeling, you choose one of your favourite way of your life, and you're used to it. For interpretation of contemporary art , I always feel a piece of work is not able to illustrate it, must be in a series, the expression of the artistic viewpoint can be gradually clear and complete."#emmazhang #collecting #emergingartist #beijing #london #gallery #richeldisfineart #medium #texture #paper #layers #forms #minimal #zhang
