Holborn
Holborn ( or ) is a district in central London, which covers the south-eastern part of the London Borough of Camden and a part ( St Andrew Holborn Below the Bars) of the Ward of Farringdon Without in the City of London.

The area is sometimes described as part of the West End of London or of the wider West London area.

He attended the Cité internationale des arts in Paris (1982-1983), and completed his BA in Fine Art at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (1979-1982). Krut's technique is to construct the surfaces of his canvases with layers of colourful paint. There is a strong relationship to the structure of drawing and use of flattened pictorial space. Each canvas carries a particular and spirited character: fans, vortexes, geometric angles, dynamic and judiciously suggestive organic shapes recur throughout his compositions, revealing an abstracted, abject portraiture. His 2010 solo exhibition at Modern Art, London was reviewed by ''Frieze'' magazine and ''Art in America''. In 2014, fifteen of his pa ...

Walter Swennen
Walter Swennen (born 1946 in Brussels, Belgium) is a Belgian artist who lives and works in Brussels. Work Originally trained as a printmaker, Swennen’s early career revolved around poetry, philosophy and artistic happenings. In the early 1980s, Swennen shifted to painting as his primary means of expression. Swennen explores and challenges the associative qualities of language, legibility, subjectivity and symbolic meaning, giving his work a personal semiotic quality. Central to his practice is his belief in the total autonomy of the artwork. Swennen’s work can be construed as an ongoing exploration into the nature and problems of painting (its potential and limitations), the fundamental question of what to paint (subject matter), and how (technique). Swennen sees each canvas as an exercise in painting, a place where ‘the artist simultaneously moves, thinks and acts’. His works are akin to thought processes given material form. Swennen works without one signature st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Contemporary Art Galleries In London
Contemporary history, in English-language historiography, is a subset of modern history that describes the historical period from approximately 1945 to the present. Contemporary history is either a subset of the late modern period, or it is one of the three major subsets of modern history, alongside the early modern period and the late modern period. In the social sciences, contemporary history is also continuous with, and related to, the rise of postmodernity. Contemporary history is politically dominated by the Cold War (1947–1991) between the Western Bloc, led by the United States, and the Eastern Bloc, led by the Soviet Union. The confrontation spurred fears of a nuclear war. An all-out "hot" war was avoided, but both sides intervened in the internal politics of smaller nations in their bid for global influence and via proxy wars. The Cold War ultimately ended with the Revolutions of 1989 and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. The latter stages and afterm ...
