Emilie Cognard

Traces of flowing transience

Die Künstlerin Emilie Cognard

Emilie Cognard works with ink, water and paper, using these simple means to create highly complex drawings of marked depth.  With her works she questions the concept of emptiness; even more so, she questions our homogenized outlook on the world. The results are exceptionally fine compositions that are highly concentrated, flowing, amorphous, highly dynamic and yet almost contemplative.

Interview

Matthew Eguavoen

Matthew Egouavoen

Matthew Eguavoen is an emerging artist from Lagos, Nigeria. As a painter he portrays people with a strong personality and a fixed gaze. Depicted against a reduced background, the social context is kept deliberately hidden, making it a subject for discussion. Eguavoen challenges the observer to speculate about the living conditions, experiences and characters of the people depicted, and takes them into uncertain terrain. We talked to him about his artistic position, a detailed portrait of his art you can find here.

Interviews

What affects your choice of colors? What made you start making artwork out of old books? You are in fact a mortician and now also gallery owner, how did that happen? Art.Salon allowed itself to ask artists questions that literally impose themselves when looking at the Art. The interviews with contemporary artists allow us to look deeply and understand better.

Controversy

Art makes politics – but that does not only refer to the work. Art politicizes itself not only through its creator. Also the scene reproduces injustices. The Art.Salon explored political controversies such as the gender pay gap and looted art.

Louise Bourgeois

The indomitable artist Louise Bourgeois stirred up the U.S. art world until she was nearly 100 years old. Born near Paris in 1911, she reckoned with her oppressive family history until her death in 2010: Ambiguous genitalia, morbid massacre installations, oversized spiders, and numerous other creative works bear witness to this cathartic process.

Exhibtion
Art Market

For those on the outside, the art market is opaque and often poses a mystery. Trends are difficult to see from the outside, and being included in the circle of collectors leaves you perplexed at the beginning. The Art.Salon brings light into the darkness, where the art market is otherwise rather hidden.
