working in series, viewing a painting in context http://t.co/aeTm9hECIj

These are just a selected number of images from the FA-series.This series, like most, consists of roughly 1000 images. to understand a particular work it is advisable to view it in the context of its series. I ,unintentionally, work in series. A series is concerned with the (pre-conceptual and/or pre-rational) exploration of things such as colours, tones, form, shape, composition, texture and much else. When an artist completes a work, the meanings projected on it, the interpretations made of it a work and the interpretations made of it depend on viewers and their perceptions and the artist has little or no control over it.

post WWII contemporary Art

Yes Andrea. I always, unintentionally, work in series and in this way explore and develop certain techniques, etc. Then I reject that and commence again as if for the first time. I see my work as explorative. Contemporary art , after World War II, the explorative and experimental artists, concentrate on the surface of the support. They, we explore what and how painting is, how it is executed, the process of painting as making 'marks' on paper' The, we do not attempt to depict or represent objects. If any objects are depicted , they are merely the result of such explorations and not their aim. Previous to this art are labelled as modern, not contemporary. ulrich

art statement with video - Found in a cellar

Paintings found in our Chateau's cellar 3 (curated 7 July 2013) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GftSBlEHDgk) (and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPw7FNRttEs)of work by Ulrich de Balbian created by curators for the DE BALBIAN ART FOUNDATION. www.newstylesgallery.info

We've seen the FUTURE of ART = Ulrich de Balbian My explorations in visual art MAKE THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE. My paintings are intended to assist in beginning not merely to look at art (and ALL areas of existence), but to SEE or perceive. We direct our eyes, ears anf other senses at objects but we do not actually register them meaningfully in our minds. My work explores, investigates and breaks down to its essential elements the socio-cultural practice and tradition of western visual art. My own work should not merely be perceived in a critical manner, but the entire code of this practice and tradition should be questioned and analyzed pre-conceptually. Art like music can be universal, for all people from all ages and cultures. My work attempts to assist viewers to begin to experience in a personal manner (as if perceiving for the first time,. like a new born child, without any personal attitudes or cultural pre-conceptions and assumptions about art and all aspects of existence) not only the particular work, but all visual art. And, not only the tradition and socio-cultural practice of visual art, but all art forms, and all aspects, areas and dimensions of existence on this planet. The phrase: my art makes the invisible more visible, refers to the above statements.

art for the sake of art - cleansing (mis)conceptions on visual art...

I do visual art and more specifically (and intentionally choose to work in) the genre of painting of the Western tradition. I attempt to explore and develop this tradition, the code of this discourse, its norms and aesthetic ideals. I therefore paint for other artists, especially those of the future, and perhaps for other isolated individuals interested in this. In other words: art for the sake of (the tradition of Western ) art. I do not paint to satisfy critics, curators, to have exhibitions, etc When the artist completed his/her work it is out of 'his/her hands' (literally and figuratively) and becomes (rightfully or wrongly, well interpreted and perceived or misunderstood in and as )the perceptions and interpretations in the minds of viewers. This series of painting (see Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ulrich.debalbian.3 for uploaded series or my website for slide shows of series of paintings - www://newstylesgallery.info) titled: cleansing (of all unnecessary frills, little interesting marks, colours, textures etc used to adorn and attempting to make 'interesting' paintings or " marks on paper/support work" in contemporary art), ulrich
