Oil on canvas: 213 x 213 cm. Neil Stokoe (2015): “I’d also say that I often find people are very confused. They can be very clear in the realm of their own expertise but as human beings they are a shambles. There are aspects of shambles even in an unshambolic person and they often take place against a wonderful environment like the settings in the paintings”.

Christian Rex van Minnen. Immanent maniac Blossoms (’Still Life with my Head in Vase‘), 2019 (private collection).

Oil on linen: 122 x 182.9 cm. Christian Rex van Minnen (2017): “First and foremost, that era (Dutch golden age) produced paintings that I am most visually attracted to. It’s oil painting at it’s zenith. So much of it was about technique and that had a lot to do with the market being detached from the church. Then there’s the issue of legacy. My father is from South Africa, and many generations before that, Flanders. There is some dark history there in the middle. I was raised to think a lot about legacy and atonement and how to right the wrongs of the past. Consequently, I have thought a lot about my connection to Europe and what it means to be an American of European heritage”.
