Miklos Legrady paintings in conversations with Iain Baxter&,C.C.

Here you will find questions and reflections on the nature of art. The long awaited ‘death of painting’ is an unrealistic expectation. Science tells us that painting cannot die anymore than literature; both offer different kinds of notations in use since the dawn of recorded time. In this work the visual language matters as much as the concept.

This collaboration, between artists Iain Baxter& C.C and Miklos Legrady, is similar to Rauschenberg‘s “Erased DeKooning Drawing", but instead of erasure there's additions, an origami of images and ideas. Here, Legrady's paintings includedconversations between the two artists. We started on art and politics, end up with the ecology of art. Still, we’re all walking on thin ice. To which the andMAN added "just like the whole wide world is on thin ice with Global Warming now"

The political course of this work is informed by 2SLBGTQ and BIPOC positivity. Here we explore what images say. To which Iain Baxter& added "and how all of us in the whole wide world today must now change our ways and apply constant ECO-EMPATHY* from each of us, so we can all together save our Mother Earth". *ECO-EMPATHY, a word coined by the andMAN, and the andMAN also created in 2010a special eco-artwork entitled 10 ECOmmandments.

Une écologie conceptuel de d’art Les grandes peintures en carton de Legrady questionnent les croyances culturelles et les vues actuelles de l’art.Ils parlent aussi de l’artiste naviguant le système culturel, et comment ils abordent les structures autoritaires cachées, les dispositifs institutionnels et les déséquilibres de pouvoir.Non seulement ces peintures nous permettent de voir le monde différemment, mais aussi ils attirent notre attention vers ce que nous ressentons à ce sujet.
