Toon Laurense Art
Dutch, b. 1958
Toon Laurense (1958, Venray, the Netherlands) Laurense is a painter, who honours the secret of paint. Every painting that he makes, gives a new insight into the possibilities of imagining with paint. It is a direct exchange with the material: human being and paint. It is all about how he lets the paint move and what it does to him.
The making of the painting is a composition, a choreography, that is not written black on white. His paintings emerge and are not designed. He always feels resistance when he does something he thinks to know already. He has to conquer the resistance and to punish it, when it becomes easy. For Laurense working on his art is a musical matter.
A painting of Toon Laurense features two components: an open part, a window to the distance and a closed part that stops the view. The open part is a landscape. A space with light and diffuse colours, with a sort of horizon or an end. The closed part is lined, monochrome coloured, closing the windows as scenes.
Toon Laurense is a modern romantic. His landscapes carry the feelings,like the romantic landscapes in the first half of the 19th century did.
Together with his wife, artist Maartje Frencken, he lives and works in St. Michelsgestel, the Netherlands.to

"Untitled, " Alan Fenton, Abstract Expressionism, New York School, Color Field
Located in New York, NY
Alan Fenton (1927 - 2000)
Untitled, 1958-1960
Oil on canvas
88 x 82 1/2 inches
Signed on the stretcher
Fenton's quiet and contemplative nonobjective paintings and drawings were widely recognized for their demanding yet understated means of revealing a serious and sober essence. He identified greatly with Mark Rothko, a friend, as well as Adolph Gottlieb and Jack Tworkov, with whom he had studied privately. Fenton painted in New York City in the late 50's as the explosion of Abstract Expressionism turned into a rebellion against gestural, emotional painting.
More concerned about his art than his posture, he expanded upon a tradition in painting with influences as diverse as Whistler and Turner as well as Ad Reinhardt and Joseph Albers.
Alan Fenton was born in Cleveland in 1927, studied at the Cleveland School of Art, The Arts Students League, The New School, and at NYU, earning his BFA at Pratt Institute, where he later taught painting for many years. At seventeen, Fenton served in the Merchant Marines where he began a career as a professional boxer, a skill he had honed on the streets.
He moved successfully through the graphic design business en route to becoming a painter in New York at the height of the art revolution of the fifties and sixties. Fenton enjoyed success with his subtle washes and pencil drawings as well as large abstract canvases...
