&女人皆如此& 绘画 / Brian Calvin

“莫扎特的歌剧总是在节奏的暗涌中，流露出很多幽默感和奇思妙想，”Gallery Met的负责人Dodie Kazanjian说道，“而Brian内容鲜活，内心戏十足的肖像画则是莫扎特情节的最好匹配。”“这一系列作品所描绘的并不是Così fan tutte歌剧中的内容，而是展现二重奏中演唱者的演唱组织分配，在重复与差异中探索和谐与不和谐之感，”Brian Calvin说道。“人物的叠加表达了共谋关系‘把头像堆在一起’”，艺术家解释道。Calvin一贯以其大尺度的风格肖像而闻名，他用简单的色调和平铺的色彩，描绘了栩栩如生的画面。

“Mozart’s opera has such whimsy and humor—along with darker undercurrents,” says Gallery Met Director Dodie Kazanjian, “and Brian, with his vibrant, psychologically astute portraits, is the perfect fit.” “Rather than illustrating scenes from the plot of Così fan tutte, I lingered on the organizing principle of duets in Mozart’s opera, exploring harmony and dissonance through repetition and difference,” Brian Calvin said. “The overlapping figures interlock into a unified expression of complicity, ‘putting their heads together’,” said the artist. Calvin is particularly known for his large-scale, highly stylized portraits, characterized by light-soaked palettes and flattened planes of color, retaining a life-like quality.
