Artville Contemporary Artist Of The Day
Julian Schnabel
Medium: Broken ceramic plate and paint.
Julian Schnabel is an American artist and filmmaker.
In the 1980s, Schnabel received international media attention for his "plate paintings" large-scale paintings set on broken ceramic plates
His now famous "plate paintings"—large-scale paintings set on broken ceramic plates received a boisterous and critical reception from the art world. A reputation for making brash pronouncements about his importance to the art world - I'm the closest thing to Picasso that you'll see in this fucking life - engendered contempt from both colleagues and the viewing public. Schnabel's signature works contain an underlying edge of brutality, while remaining suffused with compositional energy. Schnabel claims that he's aiming at an emotional state, a state that people can literally walk into and be engulfed.
Also famous are his works dedicated to people like Antonio Molina or Paolo Malfi.
Schnabel insists he is a painter first and foremost, though he is better known for his films.
“Painting is like breathing to me. It’s what I do all the time. Every day I make art, whether it is painting, writing or making a movie."
