Post 80’s art is the most valuable by Western avant-garde less direct impact on the arts. They are also the artistic temperament, as throughout the 80’s generation after generation characteristics, self-suffering and the visual characteristics of dignified. After the 80 oil paintings, sculptures and abstract art canvas art painting is almost re-created a new generation of self-characteristics: cool, cute, and transcendental illusion, self-centered, game sense and so on, have a pure visual power.
I was born in the 80’s, just the end of the Cultural Revolution, reform and opening-up began with the political in terms of the teacher’s words that “this period, it can be said that China’s’ post ‘the socialist stage.” At that time, everything is open, new thinking and fresh things, resulting in the era of China fever. And in the spirit of a violent storm caused as baptism. I am glad that they are born in the 80’s, as there is no memory of suffering, nor the ideal and the reality experienced rupture of the 80’s people. Our generation is a very fashionable term “after 80.” Life characteristics of the times, the value system of the spiritual world in our projection, reflecting the sculpture in our creation. I think that, 80 after the sculptor’s works are full of the brand throughout the era.
Tate Modern art presents the first major survey in the UK of the work of the Danish artist Per Kirkeby (b. 1938). The exhibition will explore the exceptional diversity of Kirkeby’s career spanning four decades. Focusing on key moments in the artist’s oeuvre, it will bring together his Pop-inspired pop art paintings from the 1960s with early oil paintings on canvas from the late 1970s, an extensive group painting of blackboard works, sculptures and a selection of the monumental canvas art painting for which Kirkeby is best known.
Kirkeby has pursued an independent and unique artistic path over the past forty years. He rose to international prominence in the early 1980s alongside the resurgence of a new European painting or Neo-Expressionism which included artists such as Georg Baselitz and A.R. Penck. The vigorous, gestural brushwork and beauty of his abstract art paintings, mostly untitled, and the sensuous modelling of his black-patinated bronze sculptures, show him as an artist of rare material sensibility. While full of allusions to landscape oil painting and veiled art-historical references, his large abstract art paintings ultimately live their own reality.
