About the Item

An original acrylic on canvas by contemporary artist Ian de Beer. Ian de Beer’s paintings in this series are each 72 x 32 inches. The selected dimension is meant to reference the portions of a prison bunk bed. The imagery, abstractions in acrylic and oil on unprimed canvas, reminiscent of de Beer’s past explorations of graffiti tags, is this time focused on the act of priming a can of spray paint before getting into the act and the mark making associated with that—usually a mundane and un-visual process. This is the first time these paintings will have an opportunity to be viewed en masse and the result of the paintings, all of uniform dimension lined up next to each other, is moving. The intentional dimension choice is a personal one for de Beer, who has served time for graffiti related crimes—the second longest and most rigid sentence in the history of the United States for crimes of this nature. Contextualizing the paintings by referencing his incarceration, adds a powerful and haunting presence to this new body of work. It is clear that de Beer’s experience, both as an active practitioner of graffiti and his time incarcerated, has greatly informed his current creative practice. He has used his personal experience as a way to deeply reflect on the nature of all intentional mark making as it relates to the history of abstraction. As he explains: I am now able to draw the connections between personal lessons I’ve learned through my own experience and the revelations of modern painters whose work have been fundamental in developing my understanding of the history of modern painting. I now understand my position within the context of graffiti and cannot begin to paint on canvas without carrying over some of that which has informed the marks I’ve made in the past. Within these paintings, I’ve reconciled all that I’ve come to know about how to make a mark.
