Alain Huck: Les salons noirs - Hardcover
A founding member of Swiss artists collective M/2, Alain Huck works across media, including painting, drawing, video, and photography. The subject of critical and commercial acclaim, his ambitious Salons Noirs series consists of eighty large-scale charcoal drawings characterized by the superimposition of images atop one another, contributing to a captivating blurred effect.
Alain Huck: Les Salons Noirs presents the Salons Noirs series in its entirety and alongside a selection of recent works by Huck, placing this most recent series in the context of his broader body of work and shedding light on his artistic technique and creative process. In addition to affording new ways of approaching Salons Noirs and Huck’s broader body of work, the book also compares Huck’s work with that of other artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Arnold Böcklin, Robert Longo, and Gerhard Richter.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Seit 2006 erschafft der 1967 geborene, in Lausanne lebende Künstler Alain Huck unter der Bezeichnung 'Salons noirs' grossformatige Kohlezeichnungen. Sie vermitteln in ihrer Anlage und durch die fehlende Farbigkeit ein Gefühl der Trauer, verweisen auf ein verlorenes Paradies. Verlassene Landschaften gemahnen an die Zerstörung der Zivilisation. Durch Überlagerungen von verschiedenen Bildern erarbeitet Huck bisweilen eine unscharfe Sicht auf die Vergänglichkeit des Menschen, die noch durch den flüchtigen Charakter des Materials Kohle verstärkt wird.Erstmals präsentiert das Buch nun Alain Hucks Kohlezeichnungen. Deren Farbigkeit und Sujets verdeutlichen, dass hier zwar ein skeptischer Denker am Werk ist, aber auch einer, der durchaus optimistisch gefärbte Lichtstrahlen durch die Dunkelheit dringen lässt. Der Text verweist auf die zahlreichen Verbindungen von Alain Hucks OEuvre zum Werk von Künstlern wie Albrecht Dürer, Arnold Böcklin, Robert Longo oder Gerhard Richter.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Alain Huck, born 1957, lives and works in francophone Switzerland. Following his degree in Fine Arts at the Ecole cantonale des beaux-arts Lausanne (ECAL) he became a founding member of the M/2 artists' collective in Vevey in 1987, with whom he worked for four years. He has been working on his own since 1990, creating a body of polymorphous works in a variety of media: painting, photography, drawing, video, often using text as well. In 2006 Huck started to work on an extensive series of very large-scale charcoal drawings, titled "Salons noirs". This corpus now comprises nearly 80 compositions, in which the artist has superimposed different images, combined and confused within a mobile, blurred vision that is occasionally reiterated. This new book for the first time presents the entire series, completed by a selection of other recent works by Alain Huck. Julie Enckell Julliard's essay examines the 'Salons noirs' and suggests ways of approaching them, and also refers to the various relations of Huck's work to that of other artists, such as Albrecht Durer, Arnold Bocklin, Robert Longo, or Gerhard Richter. Text in English and French. AUTHOR: Julie Enckell Julliard is director of Musee Jenisch in Vevey, Switzerland. She is also a member of Switzerland's Federal Art Committee and has published widely, on the art of drawing in particular. SELLING POINTS: .
