Tenesh Webber

1963
(USA) Canadian

Tenesh Webber 是加拿大抽象攝影師,其作品探索並挑戰傳統黑白攝影的慣例。她居住於新澤西州澤西市,並在布魯克林布什維克工作。

教育

Webber 曾就讀於溫哥華的 Emily Carr 藝術與設計大學,以及多倫多的 OCAD 大學,並獲得 AOCA 學位。

技法

Tenesh Webber 在過去 25 年中,曾從事大型/壁畫尺寸的印刷品;在暗房中操控照片,或在相機中操控底片。

她目前的攝影作品聚焦於中等尺度的光影攝影,繼續探索這一媒介。印刷品尺寸為中等尺度,11"x11" 或 20"x20"。...

Webber 的創作過程始於素描,她在其中發展影像構想。接著她用縫紉線或在有機玻璃上用記號筆創造二維物件。她通過層疊、拉伸和剪裁線頭,以及在有機玻璃上反覆線條繪製來構建影像。

這些「底片」用於創作無相機攝影影像。

手部擺放和鬆散的線頭為作品帶來偶然性,每個系列中的每張印刷品都是獨一無二的。

由此產生的抽象影像創造出節奏感強烈、直覺性的構圖,並在有機與直線之間產生張力。它們暗示了自然或人造物的宏觀與微觀視角。

靈感

Webber 曾師從加拿大藝術家 Ian Wallace 和 Eldon Garnet,他們是 1970 年代實驗攝影的早期創新者,將大型和連續影像引入攝影實踐。她受這些藝術家啟發,發展出自己對媒介的工作方法,探索尺度和替代攝影工藝,包括她目前的光影攝影作品。

她的攝影也受到長期以來從事抽象藝術的攝影師、畫家和雕塑家的作品影響和啟發。其中包括 Richard Serra 大膽的油棒素描、Barry Le Va 的幾何形態排列,以及 Agnes Martin 精緻的極簡過程。...

她的作品屬於「雷射攝影」或光影攝影的傳統,這一傳統由 1920 年代的藝術家如 Man Ray 和 Laszlo Moholy-Nagy 建立,這些藝術家的攝影作品受其繪畫和雕塑實踐影響。

在這些藝術家的作品基礎上,Webber 發展出一種獨特的光影攝影創作方法,融合了雕塑和繪畫元素,同時結合了偶然性操作。

收藏

Webber 的作品被納入公共和私人收藏,包括布魯克林博物館和巴克萊銀行(紐約)。

展覽

Webber 曾在全國展出她的作品,包括在 Yossi Milo Gallery 和 Margaret Thatcher Projects(紐約)的個展。她也曾在歐洲參加群展。

What is Drawing? - Ideelart

什麼是繪畫?

從鉛筆到墨水,從木炭到粉彩,繪畫在IdeelArt的產品中佔有重要地位。但繪畫究竟是什麼呢?雖然通常與具象藝術運動相關聯,但繪畫仍然是藝術家和創意工作者在各種學科中不可或缺的工具,無論是作為探索和發展新想法的手段,還是作為成品本身。繪畫長期以來一直佔據視覺藝術的核心地位,並被許多人視為最原始和直接的視覺表達形式,繪畫常常被認為是一種簡單,甚至是過於簡化的藝術形式。然而,當談到定義什麼構成一...

Love in the Age of Medium Specificity - Ideelart

媒介特性時代的愛

作為藝術愛好者,我們尋求增加對藝術的享受的方法。我們發現的一個可靠方法是彼此交流我們喜愛的藝術,談論我們喜歡什麼、不喜歡什麼,以及我們感受的原因。我們尋求藝術評論家、歷史學家和理論家的幫助,通過給我們語言和概念來分享我們的想法和感受,為我們的對話提供結構。當代藝術愛好者談論藝術的方式中,鮮有比藝術評論家和散文家克萊門特·格林伯格(Clement Greenberg)做得更多的了,他以早期支...

Spontaneous, Ecstatic and Free: A Primer on Lyrical Abstraction - Ideelart

自發、狂喜與自由:抒情抽象的入門

在討論抒情抽象是什麼,以及它對藝術愛好者和收藏家的意義之前,我們應該對我們中最挑剔的人表示應有的尊重,因為這個術語的起源是一個有時激烈爭論的話題。許多藝術界的人士認為這個術語起源於1940年代的法國,當時使用"抽象抒情"來描述各種感性和抽象的戰後歐洲藝術運動。另一些人則堅持認為這個術語是由美國影響力藝術收藏家拉里·奧德里奇於1969年創造的,他用這個術語來描述1960年代末美國藝術家創作的...

Drawn In: The Use of Line in Abstract Painting - Ideelart

《被吸引:抽象繪畫中的線條運用》

一些畫家聲稱,當談到在他們的作品中使用繪畫時,只有兩種傳統可供遵循:馬蒂斯的或塞尚的。馬蒂斯的線條定義並經常包含色彩的領域。他的畫作喚起一種靜止感,就像一個被捕捉的瞬間。塞尚的線條則不那麼完整,更具活力,僅部分勾勒出形狀,讓顏色彼此流動和擴展。他的畫作暗示著流動性和運動,就像時間在觀眾的眼前流逝。 馬蒂斯和塞尚似乎在他們的作品中以不同的方式使用繪畫。但他們的繪畫方式真的是唯一的兩種方法嗎?...

Less is More: Minimalism - Ideelart

少即是多:極簡主義

極簡主義 是一種於1960年代在美國出現的抽象藝術運動,主要指繪畫和雕塑。極簡主義作品並不試圖表現外部視覺現實,而是使用簡單的幾何設計和工業材料,使其缺乏任何「情感」或過於「人性化」的色彩。這一運動的作品通常包括簡化的網格和系列格式,與它們應該挑戰任何傳統美學吸引力的理念相結合,徹底擺脫當時主流趨勢。 激進運動 這一運動起源於1940年代和50年代的美國,這是一個抽象表現主義作為一種流行藝...
