戴恩•洛维特的花卉画作既涉及它们的历史、主题和寓言根源,又试图回避这些根源。在这位墨尔本艺术家的**本书《花》中,几十件作品颜色偏暗,通常为单色,而且色调微妙。这些作品指向极简主义和序列性的有条理的排列,就像它们坚定地指向静物画一样。本书扩展并进一步阐述了Lovett的富含文化和引用的绘画实践。
Dane Lovett’s flower paintings both embrace and eschew their historical, thematic and allegorical roots. Dark, often monochromatic and subtly tonal in their palette, the scores of works that populate the Melbourne-
based artist’s debut book Flowers gesture towards the syntaxes of minimalism and seriality as resolutely as they do the still life. It’s an intriguing dynamic, which expands and further articulates Lovett’s culturally savvy, reference-rich painting practice.
