THIS ARTWORK WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE FROM FEBRUARY 10TH This capriccio is inspired by the Italian ‘vedutiste’, the so called landscape painters of the XVIIIth century like Canaletto but even more to his son-in-low Bernardo Bellotto the virtuoso of sky scapes. The huge baroque sky of capriccio is a very dominating element of the scene that refers to the climate crisis. The aerial view of Venice, shows the recognisable main monuments. A close-up shows that they are unachieved, devoid of numerous of their actual ornaments and architectural achievements. This is a metaphor of the decay of the sponsorship in art and its consequences. The choice of a square canvas and the plunging perspective was deliberately used to create a contrast between the contemporary topics and the historical sources of inspiration. About the technique In the foregrounds, very thin layers of opposite primary colours are crossed on the rough but regular weft to produce an optical vibration. This pixel effect is opposed to the more blur and homogeneous layers of the background which accentuates the impression of relief. The technique is inspired by the stereoscopic images that were developed in the fifties. It is complementary to the use of the perspective, the confrontation between chromatic cold and warm colours, and the use shades. About the installation Optimization of the artificial lighting. Several small LED spotlights positioned above the painting with an adaptable illumination angle and colour temperature (ideally 3000°K CRI 90), aiming a homogeneous lighting of the surface will optimize the high optical qualities of this painting. The best quality of acrylic painting has been used to guarantee the longevity of the work. Nevertheless, direct sunshine on the picture, hanging above a heating coil should be avoided to prevent colour fading.

Denis van Baren is a French-Dutrch artist born in Paris on the 11th of September 1968. He first trained as an architect and specialized in the preservation and restoration the architectural heritage. He practiced this activity on the highest level in Brussels for two decades. Since 2011, he devotes himself exclusively to his painting. van Baren draws since his early childhood, and first developed his skills in the watercolour technique. This has a considerable influence on his actual acrylic paintings, especially in the balance between light and shade. His architectural training as well as important personal research contributes to a very original representation of space and his experience to conserve the artistic heritage also confers to his work a particular philosophical dimension where time and memory play a central role. Through different series, he approaches the theme of memory.
