摘要
巴纳比·弗纳斯(Barnaby Furnas),1973年生于美国宾夕法尼亚州的费城,曾就读于纽约视觉艺术学院,于1995年获得学士学位,后赴纽约哥伦比亚大学就读,于2000年获得硕士学位。目前生活、工作在纽约。美国艺术家巴纳比·弗纳斯是位名副其实的传统意义上的画家,他的作品采用了传统的颜料、技法和架上绘画方式,但除此之外,无论颜料使用、画面形式,都可谓走在当代艺术的前列。他在颜料中添加氨酯,使颜料挥发更快,颜色清新活泼。同时,他以传统的手法表现了当代形象结构。他曾因创作战争、爱与死亡等存在性主题的作品,为人所熟知。在弗纳斯的画作中,观者可以发现抽象的因素无处不在。
Barnaby Furnas makes his own paint from pigment mixed with urethane.He creates monumental images dripped,splashed and poured with a dark visceral red paint that suggests the bloody remnants of war. His creations are biblical in scale and intent,occasionally exceeding 30 feet in length.Born in 1973,his early artistic inclinations found him spray painting graffiti in the subway tunnels and rooftops of his native Philadelphia.His work blends this spectacular aesthetic with the traditions of Expressionism.To create his monumental Flood paintings,Furnas props and suspends his canvasses to create sloped planes.Furnas’s work has been exhibited widely internationally at galleries and museums.
