Product description
The Spanish-Dutch artist Luis Penín (1968) sometimes works for years on seemingly simple paintings. A few quick black lines, a couple of sparsely indicated shapes on a white surface, that's all there is. For Penín, it's about the content and expressive power.
'My weapon' is written on his violin case. "Art is a weapon against the bad qualities of man," says Luis Penín. He has lofty ideas about art. "A good painting is not good enough; it is only finished when I fully see the original idea reflected in it." To reach that point, Penín works for months, sometimes years, on the same painting. Whole stacks lean against the walls of his studio on the grounds of the former psychiatric institution St. Anna in Venray. From time to time, he brings them out, re-evaluates them, and applies new layers, up to a hundred times. The result does not become more complicated, but rather 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.
