Product description
The Spanish-Dutch artist Luis Penín (1968) sometimes works for years on apparently simple paintings. A few fast black lines, a few sketchy shapes on a white surface, that's all. Penín is concerned with content and expressiveness.
'My weapon' is written on his violin case. “Art is a weapon against the bad qualities of man,” says Luis Penín. He has lofty views on art. “A good painting is not good enough, it is only finished when I fully see the original idea in it.” To reach that point, Penín works on the same painting for months, sometimes years. Heaps of them stand against the walls of his studio on the grounds of the former psychiatric institution St. Anna in Venray. From time to time he pulls them out, reassesses them and applies new layers, up to a hundred times. As a result, the result does not become more complicated, but more austere. Penín reduces his motifs to the bone, almost literally, because often only the structure of a house, a human figure or a vase of flowers remains.
