Axel Vervoordt: Portraits of Interiors by Anonim Pdf

Seventeen homes demonstrate how Axel Vervoordt incorporates nature, art, and timeless interiors to create living spaces that encourage self-reflection, inspiration, and happiness. For a half century, Axel Vervoordt's vision has been defined by a continual quest for harmony, beauty, and the creation of interior atmospheres that are rooted in the past, connected to the future, and imbued with today's comforts. These eighteen residences--from an urban New York penthouse or Moscow apartment to a waterfront estate in New England, and from a Tokyo dwelling to a Bordeaux wine château or a Wabi-Sabi farmhouse--reveal how art complements architecture and the elements of nature in an alchemy of Vervoordt expression. Portraits of each residence--including the Vervoordts' own homes in Venice and Belgium--feature sweeping vistas of the surrounding landscape and a tour through the interiors. Each detail--from the materials used to the graceful placement of a well-chosen object--offers deep insight into the Vervoordt design approach and abiding principles for living and working well.

Axel Vervoordt: Wabi Inspirations by Axel Vervoordt,Tatsuro Miki Pdf

Interior design guru Axel Vervoordt shares his latest inspirations for the home. Axel Vervoordt’s intense curiosity has fueled his work as an interior designer, spurring him to explore and draw inspiration from cultures around the globe. He was first exposed to Eastern art and philosophy years ago, but today it has become the guiding principle in his work, particularly the concept of Wabi. Developed in the twelfth century, Wabi advocates simplicity and humility, the rejection of all that is superfluous or artificial. Through extraordinary photographs from Japan and Korea to Belgium and Switzerland, Vervoordt invites us to explore the elements that inspire him: natural materials and time-worn objects that evoke the essence of Wabi. Today, together with the Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki, Vervoordt carries the principles of Wabi into his remarkable interiors. As Vervoordt reveals how he infuses his current creations with a fundamentally oriental approach, interiors devotees will gain new insight from this tribute to the designer’s latest sources of inspiration for the home.

Axel Vervoordt by Meredith Etherington-Smith Pdf

Axel Vervoordt began his career as an art and antiques dealer in the late 1960s, when he meticulously renovated a narrow street with sixteen of the oldest houses in Antwerp. In 1986, his company moved to a castle near Antwerp. Axel Vervoordt's company grew rapidly in this castle and he became a major collector and decorator. The foundation of Vervoordt's style is his commitment to making the past a relevant part of today's design. By juxtaposing different works of art, gathered throughout space and time, a spontaneous dialogue between them is revealed, creating a new dimension for the future. Axel Vervoordt transcends the roles of decorator and collector. He understands the power of objects to conjure up an entirely new atmosphere and knows exactly where to place them to transform the space. This gorgeous book will be an inspiration to anyone interested in a home that is elegant and personal without being ostentatious or superfluous.

Intuition by Luc Derycke,Axel Vervoordt,Daniela Ferretti Pdf

What is intuition and how does it work? What role does intuition play in an artist's creative process? Described in various circumstances as a subconscious activity, a gut feeling, a sixth sense, or a hunch - intuition is a mysterious process that gives us the ability to know something without proof or evidence. It guides us to act in a certain way without knowing exactly why or how. It's a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind, between instinct and reason, between perception, logic, and the leap from a question to its answer. Intuition has consistently provoked vast fields of research. Everyone from philosophers, physicists, artists, actors, mathematicians, neuroscientists, musicians, to many others, have tried to offer their understanding of its mysterious processes. A challenging and complex topic, intuition has fascinated and perplexed some of humanity's greatest minds for centuries. Held at the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice, the exhibition Intuition brings together historic, modern, and contemporary artworks related to dreams, meditation, telepathy, creative power, and inspiration. Spanning diverse geographies and cultures, it explores how intuition has shaped our collective understanding of art for generations and provokes questions about the origins of creation, which is constantly evolving. Therefore, this ambitious project is necessarily to be seen as a work in progress, with leading contemporary artists creating a dialogue with historic works staged within the unique character of Mariano Fortuny's former home.

Maekawa II by Boris Vervoordt,河崎晃一 Pdf

'Maekawa II' presents the work of Japanese artist Tsuyoshi Maekawa (1936) during the 1970s. In contrast to 'Maekawa I', which highlights his art of the previous decade made within the directives of the Gutai Art Association, 'Maekawa II' sheds light on the artist's unremitting efforts to overcome the sudden death of Gutai's leader Jiro Yoshihara in 1972. In this volume, the ceaseless innovations and impulses Maekawa instigated in his post-Gutai practice are brought to the fore. They show the profound exercises and manipulations of sewed and dyed burlap that he shaped into oftentimes highly tactile squares, lines, triangles, and a multitude of colourful yet sober wavy patterns; at times stretched over boxes or loosely draped over walls. The result is a singular exploration of fabric, texture, colour and the possibilities of the canvas at its roughest core.

Sadaharu Horio by Atsuo Yamamoto Pdf

The Japanese artist Sadaharu Horio (b. Kobe, 1939) can be considered as the most important artist of his generation. He is a pioneer in modern Kobe performance art and his influence on Japan's contemporary art scene is significant. Horio's unbridled enthusiasm and boundless energy of challenging both audience and art institution is as much inspiring today. His work is not a matter of aestheticization, or of raising the banal to the level of art. Horio puts together about 100 exhibitions and performances each year, which reinforces the idea that the exhibition is not a special moment for him but rather an extension of his everyday living. continued. All is in the non-referential action, Atarimae-no-koto ('A Matter of Course'). This new publication is published by the Vervoordt Foundation and bears an essay by the curator Atsuo Yamamoto, an interview by the art critic Heinz-Norbert Jocks, a large survey with pictures of Horio's numerous performances and artworks from the 1960s till now, a complete biography and list of exhibitions and publications.

Academia - Qui es-tu? : La Chapelle de l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, [10.09.-23.11.2008] ; [Marina Abramovic, El Anatsui, Graziano Arici ... , Ilya et Emilia Kabakov, Anish Kapoor ...] by Axel Vervoordt Pdf

Academia: Qui es-tu, examines the dynamical process of artistic creation. The site of the Chapelle de l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris serves as the venue to examine the interplay between inherited academic knowledge accumulated over centuries, education, and the subsequent transformation and transmission of that knowledge into a novel artistic creation; for short the cross-fertilization between art and knowledge.
