Presenting unique and in-depth collaborations and editions with leading international artists, Parkett No. 65 features collaborations with John Currin (United States), Laura Owens (United States) and Michael Raedecker (The Netherlands), three painters who apply their individual marks and styles to the traditions and techniques of painting. Currin’s accomplished and alluring paintings of distorted and disfigured women and men, including portraits, genre scenes, and still-lifes, bring back the figurative in contemporary painting with an informed nod to art history. With her capacity for color and deft mark making, Owens takes the blank canvas and makes tantalizing paintings that lie somewhere between the abstract and the representational, all the while mastering the arrangement of space, form and color on a two-dimensional surface. Raedecker creates haunting paintings—landscapes, abstract and figurative, sometimes a bit of both—with the use of oils and thread and gothic colors imbued with a sense of the spiritual and the humorous.
