Belgian artist Willy de Sauter creates fascinating work in the artistic tradition to which abstract art is the carrier and tool to represent the essence of reality. His artistic vocabulary can be characterized as a thorough abstraction of shapes and structures which are found back in nature, culture and architecture. He closely observes and analyses architecture or selected photographs and uses the results of these studies as a starting point to translate and transposition the existing form or structure into an abstract representation. In Willy de Sauter his oeuvre, places are reduced to non-places and associations with philosophy, visual art and architecture are fused into one general and open focus on culture.
At this moment Willy de Sauter has a solo exhibition at Phoebus gallery in Rotterdam , the Netherlands. The show will run until march 4, 2012.

Recently filmmaker John McKay revisited David Bailey’s legendary 1962 trip to New York in the BBC film We’ll take Manhattan. During this trip Bailey had to shoot the photo’s for an editorial which was published in the April 1962 edition of British Vogue. He agreed to do the shoot only if the, at that time still unknown, Jean Shrimpton was his model. Bailey and Shrimpton where instructed to shoot mid-priced British fashions against the elegant landmarks and modern architectonic cityscape of Upper Manhattan. Instead of doing this David Bailey and his model Jean Shrimpton travelled with no hair or makeup artist and just his camera and an old teddy bear as prop through the more unpolished side of Manhattan. The shots he made melted raw and realistic street photography with fashion and high art and resulted in a legendary iconic series which captured the new liberated spirit of the decade.The photo’s of this shoot are later published in David Bailey: NYJSDB62 (Steidl, 2007). The film by John McKay explores the hedonistic love affair between the iconic photographer and the Sixties supermodel during this British Vogue fashion shoot.

Quote about art from Greek philosopher Aristotle which can especially be considered as an early statement about conceptual art and design as it addresses directly the core principle of a conceptual design approach and the resulting physical product and its inner value, meaning and significance.
The Greek philosopher and polymath Aristotle was a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. His writings cover many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, linguistics, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoölogy. Together with Plato and Plato’s teacher Socrates, Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy.
