Glenn Ibbitson
"Target: Blindfolded" Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting

2020

About the Item

'Barcode' is a series of works provoked by the methods and algorithms employed by various corporations to track footprints through cyberspace and analyse this accumulation of personal information [often freely given by the subject themselves] to assemble a specific profile, ostensibly to refine targeted marketing. If generated by a retail corporation, this may offer more or less meretricious commercial rewards; in the hands of those controlling state apparatus and financial interests, the consequences may be far less benevolent. These are ‘Cassandra’ paintings, railing against the development of a social system where each individual is reduced to a consumer unit, or worse, a saleable commodity; assigned a value with no more dignity than any other off the shelf product; reduced to a de-personalised barcode.” Oil on canvas,

Movement
By Walter Strobl
Located in Wien, 9
Walter Strobl opens a new chapter in his explorations of the neverending tension between stillness and movement. Strobl´s vibrant nudes capture women in movement: they are there and gone again, letting the pictoral space pulsate with both the presence and absence of the outlines of their bodies. He paints women with a keen interest in the lived experience of the body, avoiding clichees in his depictions. The viewer is excluded from this inner sensation, but it is precisely the privacy of the model`s slumber that permits us to revel in our own proprioception. His cityscapes and still lives tell their...
