ISBN: 9783907236284 - heroes and ghosts (12 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: New. In the middle of each painting stands a lone figure, facing the viewer, eerily still and, in some cases, menacing. The figures are borrowed from various media, ranging from pop culture, including Hollywood blockbusters, pulp horror, science fiction, manga and comics, to esoterica and works of art. Heroes and Ghosts is an ongoing series of figurative oil-on-canvas paintings by Swiss-British artist Mathis Gasser. This anthropological pictorial atlas of fictional characters is peopled by ghostly (anti-)heroes and (anti-)heroines, figures and narratives of the past that abide in our collective memory, continually transformed by contemporary culture-at an ever-increasing pace due to growing demand in the digital realm-and resurfacing in all sorts of different media. Gasser removes these figures from their narrative and media contexts and transfers them to the canvas, where they stand as if frozen in mid action, though it's up to the viewer to connect the dots and divine the nature of that action. In the stories in which they debut, these characters often embody the forces of violence, resistance or chaos within the social order, dredging up the suppressed fears and anxieties of contemporary liberal democracies and bringing them to light. They circulate in the creative realm of the now globalized systems that begat them, functioning as a means of cultural management of social tension, civil commotion and revolt.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In jedem Bild steht eine Figur frontal im Zentrum, unheimlich still und manchmal bedrohlich. Die Figuren entstammen einer breiten Palette von Medien, die von populär bis esoterisch reicht: von High-Budget- Hollywood-Filmen, Pulp-Horror über Science-Fiction, Comics, japanischen Mangas bis hin zu Kunstwerken. Heroes and Ghosts ist eine fortlaufende Serie von figurativen Gemälden in Öl auf Leinwand des schweizerisch-britischen Künstlers Mathis Gasser. Geisterhaft bewohnen die Held\*innen und Anti-Held\*innen diesen anthropologischen Bilderatlas fiktionaler Charaktere. Für Mathis Gasser sind sie Erscheinungen, die das kollektive Gedächtnis bevölkern und sich in einer Vielzahl von Medien manifestieren: Gestalten und Erzählungen der Vergangenheit, die in der zeitgenössischen Kultur, beschleunigt durch die erhöhte Nachfrage im digitalen Bereich, ständig neu formiert werden. Mathis Gasser löst die Figuren aus ihren narrativen und medialen Zusammenhängen undüberführt sie in die Malerei, wo sie wie erstarrt dastehen, in angedeuteten Handlungen, die durch die Betrachtenden erst erschlossen werden müssen. In den Geschichten, denen sie entspringen, verkörpern sie oft die Kräfte der Gewalt, des Widerstands oder des Chaos innerhalb der gesellschaftlichen Ordnung. Es sind Entitäten, die mit den Ängsten und Befürchtungen zeitgenössischer liberaler Demokratien korrespondieren und Verdrängtes und Unterdrücktes zu Tage fördern. Sie zirkulieren im kreativen Raum dieser heute globalisierten Systeme, denen sie entstammen und stellen dadurch eine Art kulturelles Management von Spannungen, Revolte und Aufruhr dar. …
