Ever since the start of his long career, Erik Pape<\/strong> (1942) has been fascinated by the city of Paris. His first subjects were the Canal St. Martin and the round basins in the Tuileries gardens, rendered in an atmospheric, almost abstract manner. After this he started to paint bold images of Notre Dame, Gare du Nord train station, Sacr\u00e9 Coeur church and metro stations. To restrain the cliche in the subject he painted a frame on the canvas to create a distance and to see if he could revive these all too familiar images. Gradually the painted frame disappears and the colours become more subdued. Erik Pape then turns to one particular subject: the Place de la Bataille de Stalingrad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]From 2017 he starts the series\u00a0Things that struck me<\/em> in which he no longer depicts the architecture of Place Stalingrad with its arches, but apparently insignificant things on and around the square. These range from shoes, cooking utensils or vases in shop windows, the plat du jour in the bistro to a city clock, mattresses of clochards, signs and discarded furniture. Erik Pape isolates these images and sets them against a coloured background, which puts the banal and prosaic of urban space in a new light and re-enchants it. In his most recent works Erik Pape paints plants and flowers such as hyacinth, asters, vetch and yellow iris that he finds close to home and puts them in a vase at home. This brings his own hometown of Delft after Paris into his paintings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Biography” tab_id=”1440507584491-628a5fac-75f2c8f6-af63″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/td>\n | <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
