DIDIER LOUREN\u00c7O<\/h1>\n

Der spanische K\u00fcnstler Didier Louren\u00e7o (1968-2023) stammt aus Premi\u00e0 de Mar, einem kleinen Ort unweit von Barcelona.
Im Alter von 19 Jahren erlernte er im Atelier seines Vaters Fulvio die Kunst der Lithographie. Kurz darauf richtete sich Didier in der v\u00e4terlichen Werkstatt eine eigene Mal-Ecke ein, wo er fortan mit \u00d6lfarben auf Leinwand und Papier experimentierte. Als Broterwerb druckte er Lithographien f\u00fcr namhafte katalanische K\u00fcnstler der sp\u00e4ten 80er und fr\u00fchen 90er \u2013 wie z.B. Joseph Maria Subirachs, Francesc Artigau, Josep Pla-Narbona, Josep Guinovart, Jordi Alum\u00e0 oder Rafael Bartolozzi Lozano. Gepr\u00e4gt vom Stil und K\u00f6nnen dieser K\u00fcnstler entwickelte Louren\u00e7o seine ganz eigene k\u00fcnstlerische Handschrift und pr\u00e4sentierte bereits 1988 seine erste Solo-Ausstellung mit Lithographien und Leinw\u00e4nden.
Im Jahr 1991 gewann Louren\u00e7o mit seinen Arbeiten den \u201eBanc Sabadell Prize\u201c (\u201cSala Par\u00e9s Young Painters Contest\u201c), einen wichtigen Preis f\u00fcr junge spanische Talente. Die Auszeichnung erm\u00f6glichte ihm bereits mit 23 Jahren die Teilnahme an einer Gruppenausstellung mit dem Titel: \u201c7 New Realities\u201d in Sala Vayreda in Barcelona. Diese Ausstellung markiert bis heute einen wichtigen Meilenstein in der Karriere des heute 50-j\u00e4hrigen K\u00fcnstlers, eroberten seine Bilder doch rasend schnell eine Fangemeinde und es folgten viele Solo-Ausstellungen in Kunstgalerien in ganz Katalonien, Madrid und Valencia \u2013 und bald auch in ganz Spanien.
1995 zog Didier Louren\u00e7o in sein eigenes Studio, wo er in erster Linie malte, aber auch seine Leidenschaft der Lithographie verfolgt. Im Jahr 2000 wurde schlie\u00dflich Winn-Devon, ein kanadischer Verleger von Druckerzeugnissen, auf das Werk von Didier Louren\u00e7o aufmerksam und vermarktete seine Bilder weltweit. Diese globale Pr\u00e4senz zog wiederum das weltweite Interesse von Galerien nach sich, die seine Originalgem\u00e4lde weltweit ausstellen wollten. Louren\u00e7os Bilder h\u00e4ngen mittlerweile u.a. in Galerien in New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Nashville, Las Vegas, Miami, Atlanta, Hongkong, S\u00fcdafrika, Puerto Rico und Singapur. In Deutschland vertritt die GALERIE KUNSTST\u00dcCKE M\u00dcNCHEN den spanischen K\u00fcnstler exklusiv.<\/p>\n

In the last few years\u00a0Didier Louren\u00e7os<\/span> artworks have undergone a process of synthesis and reduction of narrative. This has made room for the emergence of a range of topics focused on the human being and its existence. Simultaneously his production has been arranged in series which allow the exploration of specific concepts through variations and new developments. For example, in the series Walkers and Bicycles, which the exhibition at GALERIE KUNSTST\u00dcCKE shows, the depiction of people going to and from, address issues such as anonymity, communication or loneliness along with movement. But the atmosphere of the show in GALERIE KUNSTST\u00dcCKE is also set by two new series, Neighbours and Invisibles, which broaden the area of attention with insights into the idea of private and public life as well as the part that gaze plays in relating to others.
Neighbours expands the customary repertoire of intimate artworks to present a domain that goes beyond the inhabited room. The artist introduces absurd situations as fishing in a fish bowl, hovering above the bed or having a peacock in the house, as well as outdoor activities. For example enjoying being on a swing or playing tennis, next to ordinary home related situations. By depicting them side by side he is appealing for imagination, reverie and poetry to be part of everyday life. Furthermore, he establishes a link between indoors and outdoors that echoes in the double meaning of some furniture fittings as the shower-rain and the lamp-sun or lamp-moon. By doing so the pictures turn into metaphors of the personal sphere built on each one\u2019s choices, likes and interests, which is the shelter where we recharge our batteries. Another feature that underlines the private character of these scenes is achieved through the framing of the compositions, which places the painter-spectator as an outsider, a voyeur dishonestly looking at what happens inside the rooms.
In the Invisible series, the relationship with the place we live is translated through the repetition of a decorative pattern that defines both the figure and the room where the woman is dwelling. It prompts a game, where one could read that she feels closely identified with her own place or, on the contrary, is disorientated. Thus, it is inviting us to think about individual expression, fashion or alienation. However, a key trait of these paintings is the fact that these women maintain eye contact with the spectator, which puts them in a different situation than the one found in Neighbours. That is, they are aware of being watched and consequently they do not act spontaneously, rather they pose with chosen objects. Therefore, one could argue that the purpose of the patterns and pets could be to show themselves in a chosen manner as much as a type of disguise, as a means of offering a seductive image as much as protecting their intimate world from the gaze of a stranger.
The last set of paintings in this exhibition is Brooklyn that resumes Didier Louren\u00e7os<\/span> interest in describing a universal face. One of his areas of work during the last decade has been the female countenance that has undergone a progressive synthesis resulting in profiles combining different features. Now, the Brooklyn visages underline the ethnic richness through the breaking down of colour in facets. And not without symbolic meaning, this new inclusion supports the redoing of the overall portrait of the human being.<\/span><\/p>\n
