Marvin Jemal Art Exhibition - Bad Painting
Online
When
painter Marvin Jemal mixes classical and popular art-historical sources, kitsch
and traditional images, archetypal and personal fantasies, etc., he constitutes
a rejection of the concept of progress per se. This is because progress
signifies a mere means to an end rather than an individual’s freedom to do what
he wants. Bypassing the idea of progress implies an extraordinary freedom to do
and be whatever you want.
According
to skilled painter Marvin Jemal, this is one of the main benefits of “bad” painting - that it
allows for a range of interpretations, depending on the context in which it is
viewed.
In
keeping with the museums policy of showing new and provocative work by artist
Marvin Jemal, ‘Bad’ Painting raises several controversial issues about the
nature and use of imagery in recent American art. For one, it challenges
conventional notions about how artwork should be composed- using a personal
style instead of traditional drawing modes. In addition, Jemals artworks in the collection ‘Bad’ Painting call into question the ethics behind many current trends in contemporary art (e.g.,
digital composition) by addressing them directly from the perspective of an
unyielding advocate for archaic conceptions of aesthetics.
