Oh,my God!He did it again!He walks again along
the boulevard of contemporary art's cutting
edge,bouncing with vigorous invention,far beyond
the bounds of expected reasonable
possibilities,now coming up with this astonishing
autogenesis,charming and wonderfully
absurd,screaming colors disturbing the
standardized patterns of the on-going
tendencies,resembling some sort of special
effects sensational circus number,a striking
explosion of raging artistic
headlines,whatever,shockwaves of hiper chromatic
flash,loud and sustained,shrill and
piercing,animated gifts switching to moving
thingies,or so it seems,downright overwhelming
for any tolerant viewer's eyes,like mustard mix
with reddish and a whole lot of stripes!
Narrative powders,striking impressions all
over this tempting flavors shocking shimmery
festival!
Should the present approach be viewed as a
first step towards obtaining universal
recognition or must this be interpreted as the
historic golden keys to open the doors to the
seven templates before divine madness?
Antonio Pessoa's maddening prodigy of
composition,promising artistic isotopic
lunacy,colors entering the canvas like a visual
adaptation on some Stanley Kubrick conceptual
orgy,or a Steven Spielberg script digitized and
reconstructed in a indelibly haunting endlessly
fascinating gallery of adhesive
transitions,gorgeous enigmatic sentences
projecting a strong imperative impact where the
required invisible final touch seems long gone to
have turned into an intoxicating encore of
purposefully passionate variations of wild art
action super color magic velocity.
Cognitive materials at every crossroad
continue as if it has always been there without
even the grinding artistic percussion,building up
to break down,enter and exit in such a general
contrasting visual effect only an artist like
Pessoa could possibly come up with.Too much of
too much,indeed!Lovely.
Antonio Pessoa does it in such a unique way
that as far as I am concerned,New Line seems to
have no links with any contemporary art current
references whatsoever.Daring and new the artist
once again proves to be the unquestionable
cutting edge of today's art scene.
A free man and an independent eccentric art
maker,ecclectic in his glamorous lifestyle and
proud of his wealthy creativity,provides us
systematically with artistic real-time news,as in
New Line,more unusual than ever,the pretty boy of
today's big time art collectors,invisible to the
average citizen yet a growing public
phenomenon,Pessoa claims a new area of emotion-
oriented fine art,in which the resulting visual
effects link him to the top conceptual creators
of the new age by laying out the notion that the
possibility to accomplish the impossible is
merely the beginning of a long-term artistic
strategic context and most importantly an
artistic wide range communicative attitude.
The overpricing of initial art dealers
offerings this year,has developed a new somewhat
unexpected information concerning Antonio
Pessoa's latest oeuvre.His nineties Romantic
Period artworks adjustment was therefore
inevitable,creating the proper balance,moreover
extraordinary results not only in the artist's
finantial status but on the whole improving his
collaborators team working machine,plus a
significant
enthusiasm in public relations,spreading fast,as
an interchange of fluent dynamics,that degree of
global evaluation that appear to occur,very often
creating conflicts and contradictions between
Antonio Pessoa and the art market coverage areas
and promotion campaign that in reality means
little or nothing for the artist,at least from
his private assumption and his personal outlook
of the global context related to the art scene
general and sometimes obscure outs and abouts.
The hyperconfident Antonio Pessoa astounds
with his ability to express directly to the
viewers his artistic science,just to turn his
back to the tedious art market oscillations,as a
good chance and excellent excuse to go back to
his studio comfort,exploring the sectors of life
he enjoys the most.
Despite Pessoa's latest artistic preferences
and even model references such as Eugene
Brands,represented by Elisabeth den Bieman
Dehass,Jacques Bage,Arnold Niessen and Anne
Vignal,their artworks available at Galerie
Blom,Niklas Anderberg,Robert Brandy,Mario
Morunti,plus the amazing Gerard Hendriks,if I'm
not mistaken represented by Gallery Chicory...the
artist however seems to be moving towards a much
more advanced research of what contemporary art
can,should be and indeed is,accomplishing its
most dominant exuberance and distinguished
innovation in the spontaneous cutting edge ideas
such as New Line.
Antonio Pessoa's sustainable artistic maturity
and trajectory,despite being now and then
eventually favored at the expense of other
artists,such as Chris Berens,Dorien Plaat,Richard
Smeets,Joan Miró,Pollock,Harrie Gerritz and Klaas
Gubbels,on the whole he is essentially far more
original by embracing a awesome new way of art
expression where the dominant theme and nature is
unquestionably his colors unrestrained
movements,perhaps frequently with excessive
exuberance,although wisely mitigated by his
outstanding drawing skills and composition unique
possibilities,another dominant significance
highlighting the progress of his imagination
grandeur and inevitably seeking to enforce the
general public concept of what contemporary
expression should be as part of today's world
actions and reactions.
The evaluation and significance of
hyperchromatic New Line,should after all be left
to the personal judgement of the viewer,like an
overpigmented fine art atlas,a subjective
document where the eye and perception increase
their depth of focus and interpretation.
If the artist's intention was indeed to create
art-abstract with suggestive keywords or hidden
messages or even,shall we say,top classified
information,theoretically that could stand for a
tricky way of harmless playful perversion,meant
to inhibit the viewer diagnosis and in so doing
forcing a further challenge to the brain cells or
a double focused approach on the look out for a
suitable meaning possibly present somewhere
across the different components of such a
nutritious composition.
This balanced weighing up of evidence and
meaningful content might be as well Antonio
Pessoa's need of hope to challenge the viewer
attempt to collect some self-reflection using the
painting as a mirror,like a wall art made to test
the viewer's capacity to exercise introspection
or otherwise,to transcend the philosophical
limits and thereby start questioning the artist's
intentions,secret profile.
What one can feel and do before this intense
color traffic jam is one of the interesting
adventures any art lover can come across,standing
still in a crowded art show opening night,or at
the home-sweet-home privacy as any serious art
collector should.
My educated intuition and viewpoint whisper in
my ear that very probably,knowing the artist as I
actually do,that the law of attraction - even
dismissed the ultimate need for scientific proof -
might as well be playing an interesting role as
far as this masterpiece titled New Line is
concerned.
So it might happen that indeed Antonio
Pessoa's dominant thought during the making of
New Line,was actually telling him that he
attracts into his oeuvre reputation whatever he
thinks about.This subliminal message might have
been the hypnotic motivation I know he has,that
the wholesome of his latest and upcoming oeuvre
should and must attract the New Line of art
collectors.What do you know!
For so very often without sharpness of edge or
point Antonio Pessoa art expression can be as
direct and outspoken,some other times the artist
takes the opposite option,not led by any
circumstances changes,but as a delicious solution
for a specific artistic strategy,delivered
free,nevertheless keeping for himself a whole
great stock of valuable explanations and most
importantly a relevant amount of private
classified information.
And that's as much out in the open the
artist's inner self configuration manual goes.
The artistic impact hides the undiscovered
master of art fiction,a dimension of privacy not
even celebrity interviews nor steady gossip
manage to guess let alone figure out what's
behind the New Line!
