Finally have managed to get some professional photography done on some paintings new and old. You wouldn’t believe how difficult it is to photograph dark shiny paintings sometimes. So thanks to Matt Pia for that.

Berlinde Bruckyere at Hauser & Wirth

justinfitzpatrick — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 22:23:40 +0000

Really interesting show.’We are all Flesh’: Berlinde Bruckyere at Hauser and Wirth, Picadilly.The subject matter may not be to everyone’s taste, and the verisimilitude, the cadaver-like elements of the work may not appeal to the sensitive nature, but there is definitely something special here. There are two major works on show: The eponymous figurative piece downstairs, and a totemic hanging piece upstairs. The figurative work is framed by two paintings by Luca Giordano, a 17th Century Neapolitan Baroque Artist, both showing some kind of bodily mortification, and the piece draws upon the vernacular of the works:the sinewy sensuous limbs, the translucent ghostliness of the skin. It is visually stunning. There is something about the character of the sculpture that makes you think of static stone one minute, and then living flesh the next. It seems to inhabit the room it is in, and you feel almost voyeuristic as you view it. It seems to be both spiritual and carnal at the same time , referencing religious work but in a purely aesthetic, secular way. http://www.hauserwirth.com/exhibitions/203/berlinde-de-bruyckere-luca-giordano-we-are-all-flesh/view/

Mythologies at Haunch Of Venison

justinfitzpatrick — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 19:20:24 +0000

Haunch of Venison have moved to the back of the Royal Academy, where the Museum of Mankind used to be. The space is huge, and labrynthine, and for their debut show they are making a nod to the buildings previous function. ‘Mythologies’ is a group show, with a huge list of Artists, ranging from Jamie Shovlin to Jitesh Kallat, with a Damian Hirst skull thrown in there also. What distracts from this show, which is …whelming (not over, not under), is that the new space is a museum. It’s as if at some level you are foregoing critical debate with the work, because someone has already decided that the work is museum worthy. Which it’s not. It just has a weird feel to it. There were a couple of works which stood out for me however. A projection piece,Dark Star, by Heather and Ivan Morrison, which had strange meteorlike shapes hovering over a series of desert scenes, and 2 kite structures resembling crystalline formations, by the same artists. I shall have to google them.

New Work

justinfitzpatrick — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:59:35 +0000

Here’s a photo of the new work i have been doing. It is part of a new series of works regarding sound, space and growth. It’s reverse painted on Perspex, and is inspired by the background of Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s fresco in Siena, salt crystals, vocal harmonies and many other things as well. Not quite finished yet, but i am quite excited about it.
