Through watercolor and oil paint, Tawan Wattuya creates an aesthetics that arouses, excites while colliding with the senses, terrifying viewers, but also tickling them with caustic humor.
A graduate of the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture, and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University, Wattuya has exhibited widely both in Thailand and internationally.

Wattuya's portraits and paintings are inspired by real people in the pop culture, whether it be beauty queens, stars and celebrities, politicians, or superheroes from cartoons and films, and of common people from all walks of life he met along his way, as well as records of events, both national and international alike. All these familiar social signifiers are recreated and transformed in a way that they become fluid, shredded, broken, blurred, diminished, expanded, and accentuated. The public icons with strong background stories are presented with divergent perception. Their imageries embedded deeply in popular recognition are altered, though not without familiar traces. These signifiers induce the spectators to envision some signs of truth hidden under watercolor or oil paint brush strokes in expressionist styles.

As for his Money series work, Wattuya recreates and vivifies banknotes from all over the world by painting enlarged versions of them in watercolor, preserving the characters of each currency but letting the fluid properties of the watercolor forge new images. The blurriness, ambiguity, and beauty of these metamorphosed banknotes reflect the transformation of the world that is turning these banknotes into mere paper.

The prominent American figures of the minimalist movement and the restricted form from Carl André to Robert Morris, had a profound influence on the visual experience of the 1960s. Breaking away from them required developing a different aesthetic approach, also described as minimalist, notably characterized by a renewed attention to materials. In Italy and France, Arte Povera and Supports/Surfaces explored this less conceptual approach. However, despite a few emblematic German figures such as Ulrich Rückriem or Reinhard Mucha, Post-minimalism from Northern Europe remains less well represented in collections than that of New York artists. The German-born sculptor Bernd Lohaus, for example, whose life and career were spent primarily in Belgium, appears infrequently in major collections. Yet the elementary structures made of azobé wood, on which Bernd Lohaus often writes with chalk, have played a significant role in the artistic landscape of the past fifty years. His presence at Documenta IX (1992), at the invitation of Jan Hoet, attests to this. As a key figure in European post-minimalist art, Bernd Lohaus influenced an entire generation of artists, and his work as a gallerist at the seminal Wide White Space gallery in Antwerp played an important role in widely disseminating the Belgian avant-garde across Europe and the United States from 1966 to 1976.

« Mangen recreated from memory the shifting tones of the sky, the steep ridges of a rock face, the curve of a green hill and the crest of waves crashing against the rocks, which are highlighted with white chalk - white chalk derived directly from the pebbles gathered on the shore. The fact that the horizon line is inverted hardly matters. After all, the aim is to reveal the impressions left by landscape and the light, even if it means turning the painting on its head. These works, created without fixed rules, prioritize chromatic dynamics and the expressiveness of forms. Above all, through his sensitive brushwork, Mangen favors a simplicity of expression that allows him to merge with his surroundings. »

Artists Spotlight: Peter Zimmermann

(b. 1956, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany) lives and works in Cologne.
A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, Peter Zimmermann taught painting at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne from 2002 to 2007.

For some thirty years, Zimmermann has developed unique painting techniques that combine epoxy resin and oil paint. His abstract compositions—often serial in nature and modeled after digital prints—make him one of the leading figures in contemporary German painting. The transfer of a motif selected from his own photographic archive is achieved through a multi-layered process, in which each color is applied successively. The vibrant colors of his canvases mimic the smooth, dazzling surfaces of digital interfaces. While Zimmermann plays with the pictorial codes of Pop Art and the seductive iconography of the media, he adds the demanding austerity of abstraction. His relationship to forms is literally plastic, expanded and stretched; the luminosity of the surface thus creates a tension between the surface’s brilliance and the painting’s lack of depth. The texture of his canvases, both tactile and melting, accentuated by pictorial blur, truly immerses the viewer.

Regularly exhibited at the Nosbaum-Reding Gallery. His work is held in numerous public and private collections, including the Fondation Cartier pour l’Art contemporain in Paris, the Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Cologne, the Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst in Leipzig, the Kunsthalle Bremen in Bremen, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
