Cindy Wright. Still Well
2023 || Hardcover || Michael Petry e.a. || Mer
Cindy Wright creates large-scale oil paintings on canvas. At first glance the monumental still life paintings appear to be photo-realistic, using the photographic methods of cropping compositions and intense source lighting. But on closer inspection, the range of mark-making and painterly applications become astoundingly apparent. Wright’s work echoes the morbid tradition of ‘vanitas’ from the Dutch Old Masters of the 16th and 17th Century. Between beauty and decay, archetypal symbols l...

Oogst
2023 || Hardcover || Ory Dessau || Mer
Filip Claus is vooral bekend als baanbrekende fotograaf bij De Morgen. Zowel zijn spraakmakende portretten van Belgische politici als zijn indringende beelden van conflicten in Zuidoost-Europa, Afrika en vooral het Midden-Oosten, behoren intussen tot het collectief geheugen. Gestolde taferelen. Een guerrillastrijder met het fototoestel als enige wapen.
Oogst kwam tot stand naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in de Sint-Pietersabdij in Gent, van 12 mei tot 20 augustus 2023.

Johan Clarysse. This Obscure Object
2023 || Hardcover || Antoon van den Braembussche e.a. || Mer
Johan Clarysse culls and paints images, unbiased, guided only by their potential for leaving a lasting impression on the viewer. To this end, imagery is assessed for its tension and contrasts, for its ability or inability to convey meaning, as well as for the presence of any unsettling enigmas. That is, drama without any restrictive narrative. Tension without any apparent curve. Clarysse’s work stands out because of its unique language, the use of soft, muted colours, its existential themes...

Nadya Kotova Gallery, X Years in Art, 2012-2022
2023 || Hardcover || Nadya Kotova e.a. || Mer
The book X Years in Art celebrates the ten year anniversary of the Antwerp based Nadya Kotova Gallery. Studying economics in the early 1990s in St. Petersburg—during the shift from a planned market economy to a free market economy in Russia—she initially didn’t think of becoming a gallerist or an art dealer. The turning point though was when she discovered the work of Igor Kislitsyn, who was—and still is—relatively unknown, partly because he is zealously religious. Kotova was strong...
