I N N E S “They came about because I was trying to limit everything I was doing and trying to pare it all down. Just working with white, I felt I could almost work with colour. You could actually start seeing colour, with the way the light goes through the canvas. In these white paintings l strip away the paint between the lines, so that you end up with a ridge connecting to the next one. The whole thing starts at the top and works its way down. Eventually you get into a rhythm so that the actual weight of the paint starts pulling itself.” #studio #innes #paintings #artist #art #collecting #white #exposedseries #series #painting

RAFAELA PAREJA RIBERA (1962) Valencia, Spain The work arises from the analysis of the everyday and the observation of nature. An "accident" with matter can be the starting po int, the origin of a personal expression, which tries to "bring art closer to life". The object, in this case, is isolated from its function and meaning, to contemplate it with another look. Working with the form, enclosing the space and playing with its gaps, the ideas appear from the deep, and the desire to be reality. Investigate looking for new ways, mix again and again the earth with ......? and wait to see what happens ... ... a transformation process where the elements water, earth, and fire are essential. #spain #ceramics #valencia #studio #artist #form #play #create#sculpture

Lives in London, UK Shaan Syed’s conceptual practice plays with various modes of painting, speaking to both abstract and expressionist traditions. In trying to “objectify a flat surface,” Syed’s paintings both illustrate depth and use tricks of color to defy it. “My paintings merge abstract and representational elements and play with the depthless space of the printed image, the non-space of the computer screen, and the physical space of the painted object,” he says. In the series “When You’re High” (2006-7), crisscrossing bands of diagonal colors are imposed over a black background—displayed alongside one another, the paintings include the visual cues to denote distance and vanishing points, and yet are distinctly flat #cue #stage #paintings #art gallery #collecting #greatart #paint #art#canvas #toronto #london #visual #syed #shaansyed

S Z Y M A N S K I Untitled Acrylic on canvas 2016 / Nicholas Szymanski's compositions, while maintaining an avoidance of narrative do investigate conceptual elements. The foundation of Szymanski’s interest and practice in painting is the idea of ‘purposelessness’. The artist views this as an experiential attitude arrived at through the process of making and viewing his work. The paintings are slowly developed over a duration of time without an end goal. Through this neglect of logical method and dismissal of linear structure the work becomes self-informed, intuitive and perceptual. The subject of the paintings is a quiet and experiential engagement. This may be likened to the concept of ‘Aware’, a Japanese idea in which a viewer arrives at an awareness of the ephemeral beauty of a world essentially marked by change and an aversion to definition. #2018 #studio #colourfield #artist #collecting #art #colour #material #fabric #pink #hues #colourfieldpainter

C H A N C H O Pintura 250 150 x 150 cm C H A N C H O large scale paintings by Spainish painter Joaquim Chancho / His work has always been abstract, and often minimalist. But its variety is astonishing. There is no sense of randomness, or a butterfly mind. Rather, Chancho’s explorations of colour, geometry and shape seem like stopping-points in a life’s journey through different artistic territories, with each being given a proper period of concentration, and each producing its own harvest Chancho was born Riudoms, Tarragona, Spain, 1943 / He exhibited internationally in galleries and museums worldwide. With exhibitions at La Fundación Joan Miró, el Centre d’Art Santa Mónica, el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Ibiza, el Museo de Arte de Tarragona, el Museo Rufino Tamayo, México, and this year, a major retrospective at the Sala Tecla in Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona). His work can be found in the permanent collections of many important institutions, such as the Fundación La Caixa, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo of Barcelona and the Generalitat de Catalunya #chanco #art #collecting #seventies #geometric #abstract #painting #largescale #museum #artcollector #artcollecting #interiordesign #contemporary #spanish #spanishart #spain #pic #instagood #artlover #black #oiloncanvas #la #spring #light #repetition
