Victor Man

Zusatztext

Catalogue of the most recent show of Victor Man, internationally acclaimed for his oil paintings that are both reminiscent of the works of old masters and strikingly modern in their reflections on identity, belonging and the human condition. Victor Mans paintings are often dark, in muted greys and blues, referencing the history of painting on multiple levels, often combined in exhibitions with installations, sculptures and other elements. In this body of work, Man simultaneously confronts the history of painting, which contends with a complicated relationship between gaze and authorship, and the contemporary condition. The publication foregrounds Mans striking compositions anchored in his explorations of tensions between the familiar and the enigmatic, the spiritual and the existential. Afterword: Barbara Gladstone.
