New Art Exhibition Features Non-Traditional Art Forms

April 10, 2015Fine Art Maya Newsadmin

A new art exhibition in New York has very few paintings inside. Artist John Henderson’s latest art exhibit is full of non-traditional pieces of artwork in copper, digital video productions, and three-dimensional texture pieces, but very view paintings are actually present inside.

John Henderson’s latest work is located at the Galerie Perrotin’s in New York on Madison Avenue and is appropriately titled “A Revision”. The artist has pieces of work created with minimal use of oil, canvas, or acrylic paint. Instead he creates abstract paintings with the use of polyester, copper, linen, and layers of wall paint ripped directly from actual walls in creating the unique pieces.

The Artist stated that this new project reflects an illusion of depth and texture and “There’s a level of chance involved that I’ve chosen to embrace” (Henderson, ArtNews) One example of this chance he speaks of is in reference to the wall strips that are ripped out of existing walls and used in the artwork. The Artist said there really is no way to tell exactly what will come with each strip of wall paint. This in itself leaves the window of chance wide open.

Another type of art at the new exhibition is Henderson’s cast metal paintings, which undergo a process called electrotyping. In electrotyping copper ions are deposited through an electrolytic bath into a conductive mold taken of the original painting. (ArtNews) The Artist states that this particular process is not one that he is very interested in performing himself, so he sends them to outside companies to do the copper versions and then they return the piece once this part is complete.

What is Fine Art? A Legendary Artist’s Take

March 31, 2015Fine Art Maya Newswhat is fine artadmin

Ad Reinhardt was a legend in his time and still is a legend today. While some of his views have not always been the most popular, widely accepted views, they are still highly revered even today. He had a classic way of teaching his opinions and views of art. Over the years, some artists have found Reinhardt’s bordering the line of offensive, but he still retained the respect he deserved as a teacher of art.

Fine art can only be defined as exclusive, negative, absolute and timeless. It is not practical, useful, related, applicable or subservient to anything else. Fine art has its own thought, its own history and tradition, its own reason, its own discipline. It has its own “integrity” and not someone else’s “integration” with something else.

A foundational concept that Reinhardt lectured on was the “Academy of Fine Art” and it’s purpose was “to give certain rules to our art and render it pure.”

Reinhardt believed that Fine Art and paintings were the highest and freest forms of all art works. He said that the first rule of Fine Art and painting is based on the purity of the art.

According to Reinhardt, “the more uses, relations and “additions” a painting has, the less pure it is. The more stuff in it, the busier the work of art, the worse it is.” The artist firmly stood on the concept that “More is less.”

He believed that Fine Art should be emptied and purified of all “other-than-art-meanings” and that any museum of fine art should contain nothing but fine art. In creating fine art the Artist believed one should focus less on thinking in artistic terms, and instead think in non-artist terms. Exploit what is easy less, use common skills less. The less an Artist exploits the easy, common skills, the more of an artist he is.

Fine art is not “a means of making a living” or “a way of living a life.” Art that is a matter of life and death cannot be fine or free art. An artist who dedicates his life to art, burdens his art with his life and his life with his art.

Thoughts for this article come from Ad Reinhardt’s “Twelve Rules for a New Academy”
