⁣Jean-Marie Biwer. D’après nature 07.03 – 24.05.2020 @ Mudam Luxembourg – The Contemporary Art Museum of Luxembourg D’après nature presents a selection of paintings, drawings and prints by Jean-Marie Biwer (b. 1957, Dudelange). Spanning fifteen years of production, these recent works reflect his exploration of landscape, nature and the everyday environment. Over the past four decades, Biwer has developed a body of figurative work that reflects a sensitivity to the world around him: both in terms of his immediate environment – the Ardennes countryside in the
north of Luxembourg – and in relation to society in general. His works address
subjects that are well established in the traditions of painting including
landscape, the body and still life. Yet they also question the role of painting
within a world that is dense with images and information. Faced with the
proliferation of screens and moving images and the acceleration of the pace of
life, Biwer seeks to make paintings that hold the intensity of the present moment,
creating a space for contemplation. D’après nature highlights various themes
and subjects that run through his work since 2005: the studio, everyday life,
trees, the sky and the changing seasons in the landscape that surrounds him.
‘These things are there,’ the artist explains, ‘we just need to look at them.
They are simple, but today they have the power to bring so much to people.’
D’après nature reflects the artist’s concern with both craft and conceptual
thinking – two aspects that converge in a quest for beauty. Curator: Christophe
