Happy birthday Joan Semmel! ❤️

Semmel's oil painting 'Secret Spaces' is based on a photograph she took of herself in 1976. The texture of the artist’s skin and the hairs on her arm are painted with fine brushstrokes, and the contours of her form – enlarged and cropped within the frame – begin to resemble a rolling landscape. Her n**e body is abstracted and viewed from above; her right breast flattened, the upper torso shortened, and the limbs appearing as overlapping shapes.

'I wanted the body to be seen as a woman experiences herself, rather than through the reflection of the mirror or other's eyes.'

Open now at Tate Modern 🌍 Hyundai Commission: Tarek Atoui: Hold.

Celebrated for his innovative performances and installations that explore and challenge perceptions of sound, Atoui has drawn on his extensive research into music history, instrumentation and production, to create a multisensory environment that blends music, technology, sculpture and performance.
 
Using organic elements such as glass, water and ceramics, Atoui’s custom-made and imaginatively rethought instruments are activated by touch, breath and motors. Expanding the idea of sound beyond hearing, his work investigates how ‘listening’ can be experienced through multiple senses, including tactile and visual forms of perception.

John Everett Millais’s artwork 'Dew-Drenched Furze' was painted in the woods of Perthshire near Birnam Hill around 1889–90. The atmospheric painting is widely regarded as one of the great achievements of the artist’s later work. 🍂

Millais intended to capture the morning sun streaming through a clearing, illuminated by droplets of dew. This was, according to his son, a subject Millais had never painted before, and it was one that, as he began to create the piece, feared ‘might be unpaintable.’ Millais claimed his inspiration for the painting was ‘the potent voice of the wood spirits'. Swipe to view a photograph of the artist from c. 1894, as he stands close to where he painted 'Dew-Drenched Furze'

'It's not a matter of painting life, it's a matter of giving life to painting.' - Pierre Bonnard 🎨

Preferring to work from memory, Pierre Bonnard's paintings capture the spirit of a moment and express it through his unique handling of colour and composition. His paintings often allow glimpses into a private world, capturing intimate domestic scenes. Although these works lovingly record the details of daily life, they are not a literal depiction. Instead, an initial moment of inspiration would be remembered, reflected upon, and reimagined as he composed his paintings in the studio.
​
​Rarely satisfied with his first effort, he often worked on each canvas over several months or even years. As a viewer, we can wonder how these autobiographical moments may have been transformed through the artist’s own recollection. 💭

Lithuanian-Jewish photographer ​Israëlis Bidermanas (Izis) worked a lot throughout London and Paris. His photographic work is well known for displaying 'wistfully poetic images' of the cities and their people. He photographed lovers, friends, parks, circuses, all seen with a freshness and playfulness and later became a major figure in the mid-century French movement of humanist photography.
