Oils Books
Kerber Verlag Sador Weinsčlucker: der weg nach innen und aussen
Book SynopsisIllusion and imagination: although Sador Weinsčlucker’s (*1957) deserted interiors seem as if they have been abandoned, they also look as if someone is about to return at any moment. This ambiguity and emptiness is simultaneously uncanny and vital: Weinsčlucker knows how to lure the viewer into his oil paintings, forcing us to look carefully and hunt for their stories. Whether there really is a story behind every painting is anyone’s guess, but Weinsčlucker nevertheless offers a way to start the search and to begin a dialogue with the image. Text in English and German.

Hatje Cantz Ting Yin Yung (bilingual edition): Catalogue
Book SynopsisFor a long time only slightly noticed, modernist movements in Chinese art history are gaining more and more recognition. One of its key fi gures is Ting Yin Yung, whose art is essential to understanding Western-style art in China. Ting was one of the fi rst to turn to his own cultural history to inform the Western-style paintings he and others aspired to master, primarily to breathe life into what many considered a stagnant art tradition. It is difficult to gauge the full extent of Ting’s impact and influence on modern and contemporary Chinese art, but this comprehensive catalogue raisonné of his oil paintings brings us in a position to see how his vision, through both his art and his teachings, inspired and nurtured many.

Hatje Cantz Martin Eder (Bilingual edition): Moloch
Book SynopsisMartin Eder's new body of work is inhabited by ghostly hybrid creatures. Blurring the transition between humans, animals, and supernatural beings, Eder explores the motif of the boundary and its transgression in his oil paintings. His subjects allude to an encounter with the underworld and recall Dante's Inferno. A symbolism that both reflects a (post-)pandemic unease and hints at the encounter of reality and illusion. Eerie and fascinating at the same time, the paintings outline a space marked by the collapse of a shared perception. In addition to studio insights and paintings, the volume includes an elucidating text by art historian Thomas Elsen as well as a conversation between Eder, Damien Hirst and Tim Marlow, director of London's Design Museum.

Hirmer Verlag Picasso & Les Femmes D'Alger (Multi-lingual
Book SynopsisThis volume collects the fifteen oil paintings in Picasso's "Les Femmes d'Alger" series, which are scattered in museums around the world.Picasso’s study of the old masters forms an impressive focus of his late work. At the beginning of this new interest stood the works series Les Femmes d’Alger, which was on view in Paris, Munich, Cologne and Hamburg in 1955 and which today is scattered across several continents. The volume presents the series within the context of its reference works by Delacroix and Matisse. Pablo Picasso was 73 years of age during that winter when he created the unique ensemble of fifteen oil paintings, over 100 drawings and lithographs during his study of Eugene Delacroix’ The Women of Algiers in their Apartment (1834, 1849) and works by Henri Matisse like Odalisque with Red Trousers (1924/25) within the space of just three months. In addition to the cycle, this lavishly illustrated volume will also present the reference works and their reception. Two Algerian writers introduce a modern aspect with their contributions to the catalogue.

Stichting Kunstboek BVBA Mieke Teirlinck: Humanity Paintings
Book SynopsisMieke Teirlinck (Bruges, b.1959) is a highly motivated and skilled painter. Over fifteen years she has created an equally impressive and captivating body of work in oil paint. Her paintings often depict fragility and helplessness. She touches subjects that are kept hidden from the eye, for which society has developed a blind spot. Her subjects appear completely isolated and are presented without frills or decorum. And yet in this bizarre beauty, there's a sense of humour and self-mockery. Very gracefully Mieke Teirlinck forges extremes into a symbiosis. And even though she strips her subjects back to their bare bones (often literally), you always look at ostensibly idyllic and eye-catching scenes. You experience 'beauty'. At second glance, however, when the shiny veneer is peeled away, a second darker layer of threat, angst or pain can be experienced. It is this subtle and seemingly effortless marriage of opposites that makes her work so unique and alluring.
