CHRISTIAN RIEBEN - RECENT WORK

20. novembar - 03. decembar 2009. godine

Christian Rieben je američki umetnik, predavač u Školi Art Institute-a u Čikagu kao i na Loyola univerzitetu. Nakon brojnih samostalnih izložbi, Rieben po prvi put izlaže svoje umetničke radove u Srbiji. Riebenova dela, bogata koloritom i simbolikom, bave se istraživanjima umetnikovog sopstvenog emotivnog bića i života.

                   "Koristim se jezikom slikarstva (hibridom apstraktnog i figurativnog jezika) koji najefektnije prenosi određena stanja emotivnog bića. Jedan od izazova pri formiranju mog rada jeste upravo da sintetizujem specifične vizuelne jezike - i u tom procesu platno mi ujedno služi kao "prozor" i kao objekt koji beleži sopstevno stvaranje." C. Rieben

Christian Rieben is an American artist and a teacher of art at School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Loyola University. After numerous solo exhibitions, Rieben is for the first time putting on display his works of art in Serbia. Rieben's paintings, rich in color and symbolism, are dealing with interpretation of  artist's own emotional being and life.

            "I employ a language of painting (using a hybrid of abstract and representational languages) that most effectively conveys particular states of emotional being. It is one of the challenges in the construction of my work to synthesize distinct visual languages – in the process having the canvas serve as both a “window” and an object which records its own making."
