Hurray for us (The Nightmares Over)

Acrylic, Oil, Pastel, Pencil.

This artist uses wood panels to draw/paint on and the oil pastels come out beautifully and bright on it. Defiantly need to try this ASAP.

I love the way he retracts part of the image, like certain details of the light and shadows but the image looks entirely whole. From a distance it looks like a photograph but up close you can see the brush strokes and intentional disasembalage of parts of the figures.

Even though they are paintings they have photographic qualities, with the colours and lights, and the snap shot style. In the paintings Tennant creates where the subjects are indoors there is a lighting that can only physically be achieved through flash, which seems like they are snapshots.

It’s like he’s combing painting and photography together to create a finished product.

He’s currently exhibiting in 462 West Broadway, New York. (Open since April 11)

(Detail of Staging Politics 20)

Ranging from drawing and video to performative and collaborative practices, Inci Eviner’s large body of work comprises multi-layered pieces that originate from drawings. Especially in her works where power and representation politics on the female body are addressed, Eviner examines how the subjectivity is formed. On the other hand, the complex relationships that the artist establishes between video technologies and traditional painting suggest a different form of perception. Drawing is central to Eviner’s works; she defines the point of departure of her practice as “expressions made through lines on paper.” She builds and constantly enriches her artistic approach, strolling through a boundless visual language ranging from art historical allegories, iconographies, illustrations, and mythologies to contemporary ideograms and pictograms. Eviner has developed a unique mode of expression regarding the different states of womanhood, gender, and the politics of identity in their collective, political, and sociocultural aspects. Investigating the historical, discursive, and unconscious processes that influence our views of identity starting in childhood, the artist defines womanhood as a field of limitless possibility that does not fit any single image or concept. Exploring the quotidian gestures, Eviner not only questions, but also challenges the modes of representation and the prohibitions that engender these representations.

Europe Archive is an archive that recreates a collective memory of Europe. At a time when the definition of Europe is increasingly under pressure, the project celebrates the European legacy, shows its complex cultural diversity, and common values. Transcending clichéd approaches to local features through sharing alternative histories, the project raises questions that prompt reflection on what unites us, and who we are as Europeans. Moreover, the archive can be seen as a commentary on our current times. Dominated by digitisation and artificial intelligence, flattening perceptions of reality and false expectations are emerging, driving an ever-increasing wedge between the virtual and the real world. Europe Archive is a celebration of the imagination, of human creativity and ingenuity, where alternative beauty and failure have valuable meaning.
