Riccardo Mayr Art

Italian, b. 1970
Riccardo Mayr is an Italian self-taught painter born in 1970 who lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland. From the very beginning during the nineties, he focused his attention on unusual materials as: iron oxides, rust, charcoal, ash, lead, chalk, sulfur, and mirror debris. The subjects of his paintings while remaining in the domain of classical painting as landscapes and portraits are primarily searching for reasons behind the pure act of painting and art performance, which has, in view of new technologies and their frequent use, become questionable. Capturing the essence of Time, Through Time, in Time, and Across Time. Riccardo Mayr's art involves a painting process that explores and integrates the realms of subjectivism with tangible aspects of reality and their physical behaviors. The goal is to achieve a visual balance between personal memory and the collective memory of the world within the all-encompassing framework of physical laws. This is accomplished by alchemically incorporating four influences onto the canvas: • Emotional influence: The emotional reaction of the artist throughout his personal life experiences, along with the related memories and associated feelings, ultimately shape the overall artist’s perception of the world through the painting process, affecting how it is depicted on the canvas. • Gravitational influence: In the painting process, gravity is acknowledged as a fundamental force. The role of gravity seeks to replicate its function in nature on the painting surface, allowing matter and particles to descend freely onto the canvas, unimpeded and merging on the painting surface in accordance with the laws of physics. • Retro-causal influence: The foundation of the artwork, which acts as the catalyst for the images, consists of authentic collaged documents from the past. A simultaneous evolution of the image occurs both forward and backward through the painting process, as the artist interacts with the aged surface of the collaged documents. • Entangled influence: An image emerges on the surface, characterized by two distinct and independent partially causal directions that advance both forward and backward. This indicates a painting model where all moments in time—past, present, and future—coexist within the artwork. The artist's memory, along with the collective memory of the world, shapes the image on the canvas in alignment with the laws of physics, encapsulating the essence of Time, Through Time, in Time, and Across Time, thereby painting the memory of Time.

By Isabel Rock

Located in Norfolk, GB

Isabel Rock is a creator of contemporary fairy tales. A graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, her work is an explosion of strange occurrences while a surreal narrative takes the audience on a journey into the imagination. In October 2023 Isabel won the Evelyn Williams Drawing Award at the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize. Known as the UK’s most prestigious annual open exhibition for drawing; part of the prize is a solo show at Hastings Contemporary, scheduled for 2024. Whilst Isabel always has a tale to tell for each of her images, you may or may not choose to go on the journey with her or you may indeed have a different story, one of your own that jumps off the page at you, that that you decide to follow. Artwork Details: Horse of Hope, 122x152cm, Collaged woodblock print, acrylic ink on Somerset satin paper, 2023 Artwork Provenance: from the Artist Studio photo credits, Isabel working, black and white shots, James Brown In Isabel's own words: Horse of Hope The world had become a sad grey place, mud, empty plains with bleak, loveless sky as far as the eye could see. It seemed that all was lost of the old world. Until one day a whisper began on the breeze, so quiet that you could hardly hear it. But it grew stronger and stronger until the trembled with the sound. 'The horse of hope is coming, the horse of hope is coming!' The horse of hope had arrived, its dainty hooves tapping along the way. Where there had been nothing but emptiness the horse trod and from its feet sprung new life and hope. The world became a lush carpet under its footsteps. Up sprang greenery, pushing its tendrils to the sky. Blue irises reached out their twisted delicate petals welcoming the new life in. Strong, dark foliage grew and grew, and with this creatures began to return from their hiding places. Out from rocks and stones they came, for there was hope once again and the world buzzed with new life. *Please note we are happy to ship this work rolled in an art tube. Whilst the work is on heavy duty art paper and mixed media, the artist is happy that the painting will be fine rolled in a tube. This is a more cost effective and environmentally sound method of shipping. Shipping via this method is free. About Isabel Rock and her work: Taking inspiration from Japanese woodblock prints and Indian miniature painting Rock has developed a unique collage technique that combines bold structures with large-scale woodblock prints and intricate detailing. The subject is a grand mixture of humour, drama, hidden morals, fanciful characters, modern culture, mythical beings and fantastical situations. Rock creates a world that pulls you in and demands your attention. Quality of line is paramount, the drawings are created using a dipping pen and acrylic ink. An essential tool is a squirrel...

Artwork Details: Isabel Rock , 'Staring at the Sun' 99.7 x 70.2cm, collaged woodblock print and acrylic ink on 410gsm Somerset Satin paper, 2011 In Isabels own words; 'Staring at the Sun' The man stood on the mountain and stared at the golden sun. The sun stared back at him, its heat blazed and burnt his eyes, the birds sang a maddening tune like they were pecking at his eardrums. The man pointed his finger and shouted, ' you lied to me' at the sun. The sun laughed and said 'you wanted to believe me. I told you what you had already decided in your head to be the most convenient thing for you.' The man raged and hopped in what looked to the birds like a beautiful dance. 'Trickery, skulduggery!' he shouted. 'villain, thief, abomination!' The sun blinked and smiled calmly. It had seen a lot from humans, there was nothing that could surprise it now. *Please note we are happy to ship this work rolled in an art tube.

An essential tool is a squirrel’s hair brush that gives incredible fine lines and was purchased on her travels in India. Born in Hammersmith, London in 1981, Rock knew her destiny was to be an artist. Studying Fine Art Printmaking at The University of Brighton and graduating with First Class Honours in 2004 she went on to do a Masters Degree at The Royal College of Art in London, continuing her studies in printmaking and drawing, graduating in 2008. Her first solo show at Bearspace Gallery in Deptford, London in April 2009 sold out and was the beginning of a career that continues to rise.
