| Dr. Hugo Heyrman / Monography Author: Joannes Késenne - Publishers: Snoeck [BE] - De Zwarte Panter Bilingual edition: Dutch and English - ISBN: 978-90-5349-685-5 Pages: 208, illustrations in colour: 200 - Size: 300 x 240 mm Publication date: [11/08] Hardcover - Price: €45,00 Synopsis The artist Hugo Heyrman occupies a unique position within the art world. Looking back at an artistic career of more than forty years, we are confronted with an oeuvre that has long played a pioneering role – beginning in the nineteen-sixties, when he introduced Belgium to performances, actions, and conceptual art together with Panamarenko. These artistic projects, trendsetting for their time, were often framed in terms of ecological critique – such as the proposal for an auto-free inner city. At the beginning of the seventies, he set the tone with video art. Some will associate his name with the first digital experiments in the art world, and may not even realize that even from within all these diverse media, he still considered himself a painter. Conversely, even in his very earliest painted work, we already recognize that filmic zoom-function which enabled an entire generation of Flemish painters to break new ground in the nineties. Because he enjoys international renown in both the academic world – with his insightful analysis of synesthesia – and the booming alternative world of young digital artists on the web, no one seems to suspect that his ever-present painter’s intuition is still behind it all. Starting from a transparent mode of artistic thought, he consistently plays on the possibilities of various media to give form to that which is the essence of representation: the abstraction of every representation. This publication offers insight into the development of an artistic vision. The work of Dr. Hugo Heyrman makes a statement about the poetics of painting, about observational thinking, and about questioning the truth of images. |

Dr.
Hugo Heyrman / City
Life & Body Language 16 November 2008 - 1 February 2009 Galerie De Zwarte Panter, Antwerp - Belgium Hoogstraat 70-72-74 tel 0032(0)3 233 13 45 Vernissage, Saturday 15 november from 4:pm till 10:pm. Introduction and book presentation by Joannes Késenne professor PHL. at 6:pm. Open from Thursday till Sunday, 1:30-8:00 pm. The gallery will be closed on 25-26-27 december. The works from the cycle 'City Life & Body Language' are making the tension between experience and imagination visible. Dr. Hugo transforms visual experiences of atmosphere, light and dark, colour and time, into statements about painting. The 'painted image' reinvents the world. The paintings are about the discovery of the unknown in the known, investigating how meaning is created. One central theme with Heyrman is his existential engagement with the fragility of contemporary life: the city and street as a form of society. |

Open from Thursday till Sunday, 1:30-8:00 pm. "I consider my paintings as meta-images (images about images). They are reflections on the influence of images. I create the physical reality (the skin) of a painting, by giving 'paint' an independent dimension. I feel as much image-maker as painter." The paintings in the exhibition are a visualization of two concepts: city life & body language. In the works, I developed a transformative vision, a questioning of the status of perception, memory and images. They show the ambiguous link between the painted image and reality —reality is a moving target. A city is especially defined by its diversity and street culture; how people differ from each other, how people are using silent language and personal space. How motion precedes emotion. Up to 90% of all of our communication is nonverbal. The body does not lie. The subliminal messages of the body are playing a major role in how we relate to others and how they see us. Our bodies are the most public signals of our identities, and private reminders of who we are. We imagine by remembering, or vice versa. In the ritual quality of interpersonal actions there is a hidden code of behavioural patterns, through which hierarchical and social power structures emerge. The paintings are ways of seeing, forms of visual thinking, they make the virtual and mental space of an image real. The power of painting (it is more than a medium) is based on the fact that it is a nonverbal, manual, immediate, silent and static form of art.
