Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A contemplative exploration of Ilse D'Hollander's poetic abstractions - where color, form, and silence converge. Real Life is introduced and curated by Wells Fray-Smith. It is published in collaboration with Gallery Sofie Van de Velde on the occasion of the group exhibition Real Life. The publication gathers works by Ilse D'Hollander, Lois Dodd, Christopher Colm Morrin, Jesse Murry, Heidrun Rathgeb, Peter Shear, Trevor Shimizu, and Frank Walter, presenting a dialogue across generations and geographies around painting's enduring engagement with lived experience. The book explores how these artists, much like Ilse D'Hollander herself, use paint to address reality in its most porous, poetic, and capacious sense. Whether working through figuration or abstraction, their practices blur the boundaries between pigment and picture, illusion and observation, the tangible and the transcendental. At its heart Ilse D'Hollander's quiet yet profound vision. Through sketchbooks and paintings from 1988 onward, she offered intimate glimpses of her daily surroundings - a window frame, a stairway, a cat - each rendered with the same precision and restraint that define her painting. These drawings were not preparatory studies but complete reflections on perception itself, acts of seeing that transformed the ordinary into the contemplative. AUTHORS: Wells Fray-Smith is a London-based curator currently working at the Barbican Centre. She is a co-curator of Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art, an exhibition exploring textiles in relation to themes such as imperialism, exclusion, resilience, love, and hope. The exhibition features works by fifty international and intergenerational artists, ranging from hand-crafted objects to large-scale installations, reflecting the broad scope of the project she co-curated. In March 2024, she led a public curator tour of Unravel at the Barbican. Fray-Smith has also written curatorial texts for exhibitions, including Christopher Colm Morrin's solo show notes (JanuaryFebruary 2024) at Gallery Sofie Van de Velde in Antwerp. Her writing also appears in material related to Morrin's exhibition Witnessing Change. Her contributions to international exhibitions highlight her active presence within contemporary curatorial practice. Ilse D'Hollander (19681997) was a Belgian painter whose concise yet profound body of work continues to captivate audiences for its quiet emotional intensity and refined formal language. Educated at the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Antwerp, D'Hollander developed a deeply personal vocabulary that bridges abstraction and representation. Her palette - muted yet luminous - reflects the atmospheric subtleties of the Flemish landscape and the psychological depth of solitude. Though her career was tragically brief, her paintings have gained significant posthumous recognition, exhibited internationally at venues such as Sean Kelly Gallery (New York), and Gallery Sofie Van de Velde (Antwerp). Today, D'Hollander is regarded as one of Belgium's most distinctive voices in contemporary abstraction. SELLING POINTS: . The most recent publication devoted to Ilse D'Hollander's oeuvre, highlighting new insights and key works . Features high-quality reproductions of D'Hollander's paintings and drawings . Includes critical texts reflecting on her legacy within Belgian and international abstraction 55 colour illustrations A contemplative exploration of Ilse DHollanders poetic abstractions where colour, form, and silence converge.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The transformative power of contemporary textiles is the subject of this exhibition catalog that examines how and why textile has been a fertile medium for artists to question regimes of power and hierarchies of value. Bringing together more than 100 works by a diverse range of international practitioners, this eye-opening volume explores how textile art can be as discomforting as it is beautiful, and how age-old materials and processes are being reimagined with boundary-smashing innovations. From intimate hand-crafted works to large-scale sculptural installations, this book celebrates the legacies of artists such as Pacita Abad, the arpilleristas, and Jose Leonilson. Also featured here are works by living artists such as Igshaan Adams, Tracey Emin, and Cecilia Vicun~a. With new scholarship and beautifully produced imagery, this collection of renowned artists from around the world reveals the extraordinary potential of textiles to confront fixed notions of history, race, gender, sexual expression, and class-and how, ultimately, it can be a powerful force for both resistance and repair.
