18th of JULY “HIGH TEA” WITH JOSEPH KLIBANSKY
Dreams of Eden
The Red Penguin Art Gallery is proud to invite you to a “Meet and greet” with new media artist Joseph Klibansky on 18th July from 18.00-20.00, during which time he will be introducing his latest masterpieces which have just been launched at the famous ART BASEL/MIAMI and will be displayed at the gallery from 17th.
Klibanksy’s work features as part of the current Beautiful & the Best exhibition with stunning artworks from MARC LAGRANGE, Isabell Beyel, Karel Appel, Corneille, Lita Cabellut, Walasse Ting and Cats&Withoos, so this is a great opportunity to meet the artist and enjoy the works.
Klibansky’s main inspirations are architecture and the city, particularly the accelerated, compressed and densely populated urban environments of the 21st Century that he smoothly alters into a futurist landscape of the imagination. In “Violet Skies” and “Dreams of Eden”, Joseph will show us another vision of two of his dream cities: New York and Paris.
Joseph Klibansky makes large-scale, idealistic digital paintings that are built up through hundreds of layers of photography enriched with acrylic paint on archival cotton paper overlaid with a liquid resin.
His work conveys a layering and compression of time, space and place creating new narratives by creating dreamy images of cities, combining past and future, with a dramatic dynamism that for the artist becomes a way of signifying his perception of the rapidly changing digital culture as well as suggesting his personal journey. Joseph Klibansky (b. 1984 in Cape Town) grew up in a creative and internationally-oriented environment. In his teens, he became fascinated by the possibilities offered by computer art and digital imagery. He started to merge hundreds of images into powerful compositions, enhanced by computer artwork and often combined with a variety of painting techniques.
The young artist soon developed his own distinctive style, which fascinates art galleries and collectors the world over: innovative creations in bright colours. “When you see my work, you immediately get a positive vibe”, he says. Joseph Klibansky graduated at a Dutch business school, but soon decided to follow his great passion: art. He is one of the youngest professional artists in the contemporary international art scene. Inspired by such topics as cities, fashion, design, modern architecture, and music, he is constantly full of ideas for new works of art. Or, as he puts it: “It is my life. When I am not sleeping, I am thinking about art!”
