CORNELIA KORSCH
Cornelia
Korsch is een gevoelige schilder- grafiste die de abstractie figuratief
beleeft.
Zoals bij
Nicolas de Staël of bij Poliakov speelt het collage effect een grote rol in
haar oeuvre.
Zij zoekt
haar inspiratie in het mysterie van de natuur. Groeivormen van planten en
micro-macro organismen
vormen de uitgangspunten voor haar werken.
Haar
eclectische visie maakt het voor ons duidelijk dat het wezen der dingen niet
enkel noodzakelijk op het
vlak der visuele zekerheden moet worden gezocht, maar dat er tevens een stootkracht kan ontstaan uit het ' innerlijke' van wat het oog kan waarnemen. 
CANDICE MILON
Candice
Milon bezingt de stilte in een fantastische sfeer.
Begrippen
als vergankelijkheid, leven en dood werken bij haar inspirerend.
Met een
spel van licht en schaduw , zoals men kan aantreffen in een schilderij van
Vermeer of in die van de
Vlaamse Primitieven, drukt zij in haar fotografisch oeuvre een symbolisme met verfijnd realisme uit.
Haar
onderwerpen zijn meditatief en dromerig. Zij laat mensen hun hoofd op een
tafel leggen in een bijna lege
wazige omgeving of toont onderwerpen onder glazen stolpen in een zuivere monochromie met uiterst fijne nuances en een dromerige sfeer.
Tussen
die zachtheid en kracht ontstaat een oeuvre dat warmte en geborgenheid
uitstraalt.
 SEBASTIAAN COPPENS
Sebastiaan
Coppens exploreert de wereld van de transparantie.
Met zijn
bevoorrechte keuze voor 'glas' als medium creëert hij vormen met symbolische
inhoud, esthetische
objecten en dit met een grondige materiaalkennis.
Eenvoudige
zaken zoals een cocon, een pompoen of een peervorm ontroeren hem.
Spirituele
experimenten met glasstaven die het licht uit de ruimte opvangen of
plantaardige vormen die hij laat
ontluiken tot een rijke schoonheidsbelevenis.
De
bezetenheid om vorm en licht te scheppen sublimeert hij in organische vormen
om tot innerlijke sensualiteit.

The artists will be present.
EXHIBITION FROM 9 NOVEMBER UNTIL 22 DECEMBER, 2012
« PRESENCE » is a gathering of human figures,
carved in wood, modeled in clay, painted, cast in bronze or in silver. LKFF Art
& Sculpture Projects selected three striking contemporary sculptors, each
recognized for their interpretation of the human being: Caspar BERGER (NL), Mario DILITZ (CH) and Sean HENRY (UK),
alongside the pioneer in modern sculpture, Jacob EPSTEIN (UK).
Caspar
Berger (Utrecht, 1965-)
Caspar Berger studied
Plastic and Spatial Forms at the AKI Academy for Visual Art in Enschede
(1984-1990). Like many of his contemporaries, Berger concentrated on mixed
media work: abstract constructions and video installations. He continued to
explore this field at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht (1990-1992). Berger was first inspired by the work of video artists such as Bill Viola, Bruce Nauman and Nam Jun Paik, but later, his love of the Italian High Renaissance led him to choose the medium of sculpture. Berger thus associated himself with the 1980s revival of figurative art, mostly exploring the tension between the external and internal, between reality and image. For Berger, the body is merely a façade that conceals emotion. He deliberately leaves the surface of the statues unfinished, thus also triggers associations with decay. “I make a cast, a copy of myself, but during the process the statue acquires a will of its own and a transformation takes place.” Berger’s postmodern interpretation of existing motifs is also apparent in the series of self-portraits that has been his focus since 2001. In his self-portrait series, Berger not only explores the phenomenon of the autonomous self-portrait, with its technic al and physical obstacles, but also subjects his own person to self-examination. In doing so he literally turns himself inwards.
Caspar Berger lives and works in Amsterdam. More info...
Mario
Dilitz (Innsbrug, 1973-)
Mario Dilitz graduated
from the Technical School for Wood Carving in St Ulrich (Italy) in 1999. The
artist developed an impressive ability to manipulate the language of sculpture
in order to give expression to the human form. He combines traditional
sculptural knowledge, incredible craftsmanship with issues that are new and
appealing to contemporary viewers. His work, bi-polar, challenges us. There is a strong contrast between the aesthetic beauty of his sculptures and the disquieting feelings they generate. Their grave expressions come as a contradiction to the almost porcelain aspect of the wood. Each artwork confronts its perfection to timeless existential issues. Even Mario Dilitz’s choice of material reveals these contradictions. His sculptures, most of them life-sized, are created out of high quality laminated wood. After a process of destruction and then construction the wood reaches a new form of stability, which wouldn’t have been possible in its natural condition. The artist visually accentuates this process by using dark red glue in the laminated wood.The use of this color signs his creations unmistakably, dramatizes them, as if the red color revealed some aching truth. Confronted to such strong presence, Mario Dilitz’s sculptures leave their viewers defenseless.
Dilitz now
works and lives in Axams near Innsbruck and Munich. More info...
Sean
Henry (Woking, UK, 1965-)
Sean Henry graduated
from Bristol Polytechnic in 1987. He had his first solo exhibition in London in
1988 and was the first sculptor to win the Villiers David Prize in 1998. Despite their ostensible realism, Henry is not primarily concerned with a direct transposition of what he sees. The theme of his sculpture is the tension between the making and staging of figures that seem to belong to the real world, and the degree to which they echo our experiences and sympathies. The sculptures are painted by the artist, each individually and directly on the bronze or ceramic surface. Henry has become adept at the manipulation of scale and almost always avoids life-sized representation. His sculptures are self-contained, often pensive, preoccupied by their inner imaginings. They exude what the ancient Greeks used to call sophrosyne, or self-control. This sense of being grounded is central to Henry’s figures and creates their strong physical presence, their sense of being and enduring. Among his past projects one must mention «Couple» - UK’s first permanent offshore sculpture - a large scale, 13 m high , 18 m wide bronze and steel sculpture installed off the North East coast of England.
Sean Henry lives and works in the UK. He is married and has three children. More info...
Jacob
Epstein (1880-1959)
Jacob Epstein was
an American-born British sculptor who helped pioneer modern sculpture. Born in
the United States, he moved to Europe in 1902, becoming a British citizen in
1911. In London, Epstein involved himself with a bohemian and artistic crowd.
Revolting against ornate, pretty art, he made bold, often harsh and massive
forms of bronze or stone. His sculpture is distinguished by its vigorous rough-hewn
realism. Avant-garde in concept and style, his controversial works often
shocked his audience, challenging taboos on what was appropriate subject matter
for public artworks. Epstein would often sculpt the images of friends, of his
mistresses, his family, casual acquaintances, and even people dragged from the
street into his studio almost at random. His portrait bronzes retain the immediacy of his touch on the clay, the mood of the sitters as well as the artist’s own feelings. Epstein can be considered as the best 20th century sculptor capturing the human soul in bronze. Among his subjects, Sunita (in this show) was his best know model, and will be on view in this show. Jacob Epstein died 21 August 1959 in London and is buried in Putney Vale Cemetery.
« PRESENCE » is a gathering of human figures,
carved in wood, modeled in clay, painted, cast in bronze or in silver. LKFF Art
& Sculpture Projects selected three striking contemporary sculptors, each
recognized for their interpretation of the human being: Caspar BERGER (NL),
Mario DILITZ (CH) and Sean HENRY (UK), alongside the pioneer in modern
sculpture, Jacob EPSTEIN (UK).
The tradition of portraits
goes back a long way. Many contemporary sculptors perpetuate this tradition,
while only a few, as Epstein in his time, go beyond the mere representation of
an individual. Far from falling in the «Tussaud-trap», SEAN HENRY portrays the
anonymous, his very straightforward depiction of appearances invests his
figures with an almost palpable psychological presence; meanwhile, Henry leaves
the surfaces of his painted bronzes rough, his application of color confident
and painterly. CASPAR BERGER questions the link between the image and the soul;
his portraits based on molded humans question the link between the copy and the
original, the dead material and the living body. MARIO DILITZ’s wooden figures
polarize. There is a strong contrast between their aesthetic beauty and the
content of the issues, whe re a profound confrontation with the vagaries of
human existence takes places.
In today’s art world, realism re-surfaces and
continues to provide its serious practitioners with constant philosophical
challenges. Visitors will discover how artists still more than ever try to make
sense of «what we’re doing and why we’re here». Remarkable is the ability of
these four artists to give expression to the human form, to transmit and
translate the language of sculpture in order to trigger emotion. Their most
minute details transform a piece from a basic anonymous figure to a universal
commentary on the human spirit.
On view until 22 December 2012
« PRESENCE » est une exposition
de figures humaines, taillées dans le bois, modelées dans la terre, peintes,
coulées en bronze ou en argent. LKFF Art & Sculpture Projects a sélectionné
trois sculpteurs surprenants, chacun reconnu pour son interprétation de l’être
humain: CasparBERGER (NL), Mario DILITZ (CH) et Sean HENRY (UK) aux côtés d’un pionnier
de la sculpture moderne, Sir JACOB EPSTEIN (UK).
La tradition du portrait
remonte à la nuit des temps. Aujourd’hui, de nombreux sculpteurs perpétuent
cette tradition, mais peu d’entre eux parviennent, comme Epstein à son époque,
à dépasser la simple représentation de l’individu. Loin de sombrer dans un
piège «Tussaud», Sean Henry portraitise l’anonyme. Sa retranscription très
franche des attitudes investit ses figures d’une présence psychologique presque
palpable. Il laisse ses surfaces brutes et applique ses couleurs sur les
bronzes à la manière d’un peintre sur une toile. Caspar Berger interroge le
rapport entre notre image extérieure et notre âme. Ses (auto-)portraits,
réalisés à partir de moulages sur vif, questionnent le lien entre la copie et
l’original, entre la matière inerte et le corps vivant. Les figures de Mario
Dilitz sont bi-polaires et présentent un puissant contraste entre leur superbe
esthétique et les questions existentielles qu’elles soulèvent. Elles
confrontent leur beauté aux errances de l’existence humaine.
Le réalisme en sculpture revient à l’avant de la scène dans l’univers de l’Art Contemporain et offre à ses adeptes des défis philosophiques passionnants. Les visiteurs découvriront comment les artistes, aujourd’hui plus que jamais, tentent de dégager du sens de leur existence et de comprendre « ce que nous faisons ici » et « pourquoi nous sommes là? ». Cette exposition témoigne de l’habilité avec laquelle ces 4 artistes donnent vie à la forme humaine. Ils parviennent à traduire et transmettre des émotions fortes au travers du langage de la sculpture. Le moindre détail transforme une simple figure anonyme en un commentaire universel sur l’Etre humain.
