THE PAINTINGS SECTION FROM DAVIS MUSEUM

The Davis Lisboa Mini-Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona

Davis Lisboa, "Marcel Duchamp #10", 2017, oil on canvas, 15.7 x 15.7 x 1.57 in (40 x 40 x 3.5 cm)

What inspired the work?
I was inspired by a frame from an Marcel Duchamp's interview on the BBC, in 1968.

What do you hope its viewers will feel/think?
I hope that viewers know that there is a narrative in Art History that deals with "the artists who have created their own museums". This discourse is constructed through Marcel Duchamp (Boîte-en-valise, 1935-41), Robert Filliou (Galerie Légitime, 1962-63) and Marcel Broodthaers (Musée d'Art Moderne, Départment des Aigles, 1968-72). To follow this line I founded The Davis Museum (www.davismuseum.com), the first and only museum of contemporary art created in a ballot box through Facebook in 2009. This cultural entity recognized by the Government of Catalonia (Spain) has several sections and one of them is "The Paintings Section From Davis Museum ". This wing is divided into portraits and still lifes. The portraits are about Marcel Duchamp, Robert Filliou and Marcel Broodthaers, while still lifes are about Boîte-en-valise, Galerie légitime and Musée d'Art Moderne, Départment des Aigles.

Why did you choose the medium, frame, color?
I chose the oil because it is a medium that allows a wide variety of tones and is very durable. As the Davis Museum is a cube, I chose the frame of the paintings to be square. And since the Davis Museum's brand color is blue and white, I chose to have the same color in the paintings. I only use the best materials for my paintings: linen fabrics, turpentine oil and linseed oil from Blockx and Old Holland oil paintings.
