麥可·庫薩克

1960
(AUSTRALIA) IRISH

邁克爾·庫薩克(Michael Cusack)是一位出生於愛爾蘭、現居澳大利亞的抽象畫家。他的作品具有畫意、情感、戲劇性,並喚起自然力量之間的鬥爭。他在拜倫灣生活和工作。

教育

Cusack於1997年獲得亨特科技學院的美術文憑,並於昆士蘭藝術學院(格里菲斯大學,布里斯班)獲得視覺藝術碩士學位。2014年,他獲得新南威爾士州藝術館(AGNSW)頒發的巴黎國際藝術城駐留獎學金。在維持全職工作室實踐的同時,他也在拜倫藝術學校任教。

科技

Cusack 採用高度身體化的技術,充滿了奮鬥和強烈的專注。他對自己的作品採取分層、好奇、畫家的方法。他用顏色逐層構建表面,誘導形狀的存在。暖色和冷色的推拉創造了深度和空間的錯覺,而可見的筆觸則拒絕了錯覺,反而將注意力引向藝術家的手和心智。...

Cusack 的工作方式既正式又概念化。他的過程是身體的和內心的:在顏料、表面和他的技術力量之間的協商。在技術背後是一種節奏,試圖通過構圖進行交流。

技術的直接元素與思想的形而上學方面之間的鬥爭在於作品的勞動密集性中顯而易見。

靈感

Cusack 受到理解自己本能視覺語言的衝動所啟發。他的詞彙與自然有關,建立在顏色、構圖、形狀和形式的出現、層之間的關係、推拉、動態和時間的重要性上。

他使用顏色來創造戲劇性。他的形狀和形式被鎖定在鬥爭中:有時顏色和空間讓它們放鬆,其他時候作品的元素則將構圖推向衝突。...

渴望無處不在:庫薩克正在重溫過去,尋找通往未來的道路。他的奮鬥從他的畫作中流露出來,不僅吸引了觀眾的目光,也觸動了心靈和思想。

他對顏料和技術的成熟、正式理解被動員起來,旨在傳達有關人類/動物本性的某種普遍性。

相關行情

關於他的創作過程,庫薩克曾說過: “每一個新的作品集,我都在嘗試重寫。不是一種新的語言,而是試圖用新的代碼、新的節奏和新的段落來豐富我當前的語言。如果這些畫作講述了一個故事,那就是它們自己的故事,關於形狀的創造、材料以及經歷的殘留。”

展覽

Cusack 在澳大利亞廣泛展出他的作品。

收藏

他的畫作被納入澳大利亞、亞洲和歐洲的眾多公共和私人收藏中,包括紐卡索區域博物館、紐卡索藝術畫廊、特威德區域畫廊、港麥夸里收藏、利斯莫爾區域畫廊、BHP Billiton、ABN Amro、Artbank、懷科姆市議會和麥格理銀行。
