Brent Hallard

1957
(AUSTRALIA) AMERICAN

Brent Hallard 是一位澳大利亞出生的抽象藝術家、策展人及作家,他在紙張和鋁材上的作品探索極簡主義圖像和單色表現。
他的作品在精確、正式的地理形狀研究與更具玩味、獨特風格的創作之間波動。
他目前居住並工作於澳大利亞悉尼。

教育背景

Brent Hallard 於1990年獲得美術學士學位,並於1992年在新南威爾斯大學取得藝術碩士學位。

技法

Hallard 使用標記筆、水彩和壓克力等媒材,在紙張和鋁材上構築單色及半單色的幾何形狀圖像,如方形和長方形。

作品常由簡單的形狀和形狀群組組成,有時則突破線條和形狀的界限。

Hallard 傾向於創作傳達精確與嚴謹的作品,同時也嘗試較為自由的色彩與形態探索,創造更具實驗性的幾何抽象,邀請觀者進行更多層次的互動。

靈感來源

藝術家以空間與幾何為主題,操控圖像與物件排列,挑戰觀者的感知。

他的作品深植於藝術史的基礎,特別是建立在抽象、極簡主義及色域藝術家的傾向之上。

作品同時保有某種人性特質,融入開放與輕鬆的感覺,暗示著對形式限制的自由解放。

相關引述

Young Space 藝術部落格的 Kate Mothes 如此評價 Brent Hallard 的作品:

"這些畫作……極為簡潔。邊緣分明,色彩鮮明,幾乎達到視覺的極限。他的一些作品完全對稱,但當我們的目光從一段到另一段、從一條條紋到另一條條紋移動時,邊界會隨之變化,色彩在我們眼中玩弄著微妙的視覺把戲。他似乎堅持對稱且硬邊的抽象,但下一刻又創作出似乎在說他知道這些作品應該是硬邊畫作,但看?有時候並非如此。為了證明這點,他會在界線外著色。"

The Will to Restraint: Tendencies of Reductive Art - Ideelart

《克制的意志:簡約藝術的趨勢》

當思考藝術時,很少能夠找到超越風格、時期或運動的限制性概念的術語。但當我們做到這一點時,發現可能參考所有藝術作品的語言,無論它是何時創作或由誰創作,都可以是解放性的,甚至是統一的。簡約藝術就是這樣一個術語。它並不指代某個運動、風格或藝術時期。它代表了一種理念。簡約藝術是通過旨在簡化、整合、濃縮的過程創作的藝術。從某種意義上說,你可以說米開朗基羅的《大衛》雕像,這件用大理石雕刻的作品,是簡約...

How Colorist Painters Speak With Hues - Ideelart

色彩畫家如何用色調交流

色彩師所給予我們的,不是說「黃色」的黃色,也不是說「山」或「樹」的黃色,而是說「永恆」、「激烈」、「善良」、「力量」、「平靜」或「愛」的黃色。色彩畫家不僅僅專注於顏色,他們通過顏色進行交流。他們與顏色合作,以表達那些無法表達的事物。他們使用顏色,不是為了讓我們凝視一個表面,而是邀請我們向內探索,朝向超越表面的某種東西,深入畫作之中,也深入我們自己之中。 用色調說話 最終被稱為印象派的叛逆畫...
