About this artwork
A report on Sam Gilliam (1933-2022), the first African-American painter to exhibit at the Venice Biennale in 1972, gave me the idea for a portrait juxtaposition. I wanted to contrast the intense portrait of the abstract painter, who belonged to the Color Field painting movement, with a classical portrait. Rembrandt's self-portrait from 1657 seemed to me to be the perfect contrast. The pink color that makes Gilliam's T-shirt glow is scattered in wild… splashes across the classic portrait, suggesting a new era in painting.
« I like art that combines old and new, is professionally made, has a sense of humor, arouses curiosity, makes you smarter, and which you never forget. »
Thomas Johannsmeier is an experienced painter and a draftsman whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Russia, the Netherlands, and France. In his compositions, classical portaits are taken out of their contexts and contrasted with elements of modern art, which consists of monochrome colors, graffiti, photos, patterns, or quotations from other images. Johannsmeier most often creates using acrylics and oils on canvas.
