Out of the serie: Please Painter Paint 2016




This Serie consists of 37 works

In this series, Peter Weidenbaum focuses on the city of Antwerp and its people. The metropolis, with its streets, squares and monuments, looks like pictures in a tourist guide. When we look closely, we recognize the social power relations that prevail in the city. The series "Please Painter Paint" is a displacement of desire. As if the world expects to be painted. A reflection of it through the mirror of the painter. The series was shown in the exhibition "Please Painter Paint" at auction house Bernaerts. Peter Bernaerts motivates: "Every day an auctioneer stands between dozens of canvases and panels, ready for expertise, research or auction. With a diagnostic view that does not allow too much emotional assimilation with the artist, but places the work in a certain time and context." painter has to paint "is Weidenbaum's adagio, which means that by definition he can count on our commitment. He is an artist who still masters the art of craftsmanship in a contemporary way. ”
