Christian Rex van Minnen
Biographie
Né en 1980 à Providence, RI
Vit et travaille à Santa Cruz, CA
Transporté par des techniques vénitiennes développées par Titien et Rembrandt, crée des peintures d’une précision plastique dérangeante, mêlant beauté et grotesque dans un rendu photographique saisissant. Inspiré par le surréalisme et les enseignements spirituels de Carl Jung, l’artiste explore les transformations internes du corps et de l’esprit à travers un langage visuel alchimique. Ses peintures montrent comment les expériences de changement peuvent se ressentir physiquement, transformant le corps en un hôte de ces métamorphoses.
Christian Rex van Minnen a obtenu son BA à Regis University, Denver. Ses œuvres figurent dans les collections du Denver Art Museum, Djurhuus Collection, Christine & Andy Hall Collection, Colección Solo et la Richard B. Sachs Collection.
