Marius von Brasch, Recognition, 2017, Oil on canvas, 28 x 45 inches
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NADA Curated: Multipolar by Itzel Vargas Plata
August 28–September 30, 2023
Jenn Singer is pleased to announce that Marius von Brasch’s oil on canvas Recognition, was selected by Itzel Vargas Plata, Chief Curator at Museo Universitario del Chopo, for NADA Curated: Multipolar.
The fifth edition of NADA Curated includes work by 21 artists from NADA’s international community, now live on newartdealers.org through September 30th.
“Multipolar brings together artworks highlighting income inequality and social, political, and ecological emergencies. Embracing openness, flexibility, and a humanistic conscience has the potential to bring about a more sustainable future where we can reconsider our relationship with the planet and each other, achieving empathy without having to share the same ways of thinking.” – excerpted from the curatorial statement by Itzel Vargas Plata.
Marius von Brasch’s work embodies his complex engagement with the canvas as a multiplicity, mirroring the concept of multipolarity. His paintings, originating from the emotional resonance of a color or initial gestural forms, are influenced by Renaissance and Baroque works focused on identity and transformation.
These ancient references, teeming with an evocative awareness of the almost violent knotting of truths, polarities, and paradoxes, inspire his perception of our intricate multipolar world.
While the paintings may appear abstract, the artist dismisses a formal division between abstract and figurative. Figures and fragmented narratives in the paintings subtly echo ideological postures prevalent today.
As multipolar embodiments, the artist’s paintings resist easy resolution. They demand an infusion of energy, grief, and love - elements that could potentially incite transformation, balance, or destruction - an apt reflection of our dichotomous reality.
These works of material alchemy, steeped in beauty, assert an affirmation of life, resonating with the exhibition’s vision of resistance, apocalyptic consciousness, and the unyielding hope for a better world.
