中文简介:
Renk来自法国布列塔尼,真名是Walig Nicolet,在法国雷恩市的一个艺术家家庭长大。他很小的时候就离开学校在街上作画。几年后,他在巴黎和洛杉矶的工作室工作,开始在大画布上绘画。他当时的实践是基于他的标签RENK的积累和重复,并很快演变成创造出巨大的彩色区域,其变化让人想起了色域绘画。栖息在巴黎建筑的屋顶上,或在家乡布列塔尼的海岸划独木舟,Renk旅行寻找“气候时刻”,让他能够表达对无限空间和纯粹色彩的激情。这本书是Renk的第一本专著,追溯了Renk从2010年代到今天的旅程。
英文简介:
Originally from Brittany, Renk―whose real name is Walig Nicolet―grew up in Rennes in a family of artists. He left school at a very young age and began painting in the street. A few years later, working in studios in Paris and Los Angeles, he started painting on large canvases. His practice at the time was based on the accumulation and repetition of his tag―RENK―and soon evolved into the creation of vast colored areas whose variations evoke Color Field painting. Perched on the roofs of Parisian buildings or canoeing along the coast of his native Brittany, Renk travels in search of “climatic moments” that allow him to express his passion for limitless space and pure color. This book, the artist's first monograph, traces Renk's journey from the 2010s to today.
