Christian Rex van Minnen. Dance in Fire, 2018 (artist’s portfolio).


Oil on panel: 61 x 76.2 cm. Christian Rex van Minnen (2014): “I think it’s interesting to take away the eyes and mouth. In a way it makes it easier on the viewer, myself included. It allows for a more prolonged voyeurism and freedom to explore the figure. Like staring at a blind man”.

Sarah Harvey. Handstand, 2007 (private collection).


Oil on canvas: ca. 160 x 100 cm. Sarah Harvey: “…I am greatly influenced by Francis Bacon's Carcass and crucifixion paintings, and of course by the work of Jenny Saville. Both of these figurative artists are intensely intrigued by the imagery of flesh - in both ugly and magnificently beautiful ways".
