Ensemble: Jim Shaw - Study Drawings
Tekenen neemt binnen de artistieke praktijk van Jim Shaw al een belangrijke plaats in sinds zijn studies aan het California Institute of the Arts in de jaren 1970, hoewel de nadruk er in die periode vooral lag op niet-figuratieve en conceptuele kunst. Als een echte vakman maakt hij zich meester van waarnemingstekenen en tekenen vertrekkend van fotografisch materiaal. Met de reeks “Dream Drawings” legt Shaw zich dan weer toe op het rechtstreeks vanuit de verbeelding op papier zetten van een tekening. Centraal in de tentoonstelling staat een selectie van meer dan 100 studiotekeningen die Jim Shaw het afgelopen decennium maakte. Met een combinatie van tot in detail uitgewerkte voorstudies van schilderijen en snel op papier gezette ideeën geeft dit overzicht een intieme inkijk in het creatieve en conceptuele proces van Shaw en schetst het, als het ware, het mentale landschap van de kunstenaar van de afgelopen tien jaar. Met een mix van herkenbare en absurde beelden graaft hij in de Amerikaanse cultuur en politiek en onthult hij meer dan ooit de groeiende frictie tussen conservatieve en progressieve denkkaders.
