WORKSHOP MICHAEL RYAN

8 tot 12 juli 2019
Landgoed Berkenrode, Heemstede, The Netherlands

Mijn uitgangspunt is hoe we naar de werkelijkheid kijken. Dat doe ik met een leeg hoofd. Een geest vrij van het verleden, van formules, van gewoontes, van mooie voorbeelden, volledig in het hier en nu. Alleen dan heb ik als kunstenaar de mogelijkheid om de wereld voortdurend opnieuw te bewonderen. Dat betekent ook, zonder etiketten leren kijken. Geen ‘vazen’, ‘bloemen’, ’schaduwen’ of ‘tafel’ maar visuele verschijningen met een bepaalde kleur en kwaliteit. Met dit bewustzijn ben ik in staat om een compositie met kleuren op een twee dimensionaal oppervlak te maken. Een VERTALING van de werkelijkheid.

Zoals Pierre Bonnard ooit zei:

When the colors (op het
doek) begin to achieve an illusion, that is when the stupidities begin.

Ik verheug me op onze workshop!

WORKSHOP MICHAEL RYAN

8 tot 12 juli, 2019
Berkenrode Estate, Heemstede, The Netherlands

My workshop is based on how we observe reality. I do that with an empty mind. A mind free of the past, free from beautiful examples of how it should be, of formulas and habits, completely in the here and now. Only then do I have the possibility to continually view the world with amazement. That also means learning to see without labels. No ‘vases’,’flowers’, ‘shadows’ or ‘tables’, only visual phenomenon of a particular color and quality. With this consciousness I am able to create a composition using color on a two dimensional surface. A TRANSLATION of reality.

As Pierre Bonnard once said:

When the colors (on the canvas) begin to achieve an illusion, that’s when the stupidities begin.

I look forward to our workshop!
