Contemporary Renaissance

The inspiration from the works of the Italian Renaissance artist such as Leonardo and Botticelli brought the idea of works that can fit within the same context. The idea was supplemented with new elements which are combining works that are represented on different mediums to create a certain context. In that sense, I would like to thank each of the following galleries, museums, and individuals for their kind support in providing the works for the time of the gallery:

  • The government of France and the Louvre Museum.
  • Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
  • Iona Rozeal Brown.
  • Kara Walker
  • Saatchi Gallery
  • Hirshhorn Museum and sculpture garden

Emotions between Inspiration and Presentation

It was always interesting to ling the inspiration of an artwork and the way it was represented. In that sense the gallery is attempting to establish such a link by titling the works in such manner. In that way a general context can be observed through the artist’s inspiration. Taking the work of Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, where the inspiration might be stated as Poliziano’s poem of the Giostra, (“Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli”) and the representation can be stated as grace, thus the title within the gallery will be poetry and grace. Accordingly, the rest of the artworks will be titled in such manner giving the exhibition a mutual context, where the emotions of the visitors should differ according to the established title. Looking at another exhibit, Memory of My Youth in the mountains by Joseph Beuys, the inspiration is self-explanatory from the title, whereas the representation can be summarized as stone, resulting in a new title the memory of a stone.

In that sense, it can be seen that the emotions can be changed observing, for example, Andy Warhol’s commercial self-portrait within the context of monitorial pop culture, and Untitled by Wangechi Mutu within the context of disjoint Africa and glamour fashion(“Untitled by Wangechi Mutu”) Such implementation unites works from different epochs and different styles within a single frame outlining how each artists’ inspiration was translated into the representation of the work using different types of artistic works, different styles, and different materials.

The exhibition is an attempt to look at familiar works by popular artists from a different perspective. With the main emphasis that art is first of all a matter of an idea that uses different forms for aesthetic delivery.
