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”.

Christian Rex van Minnen. Reglaze the Pizza Dynasty, 2018 (artist’s portfolio).
Oil on panel: 61 x 76.2 cm. Christian Rex van Minnen (2017): “I never want to be provocative just for provocation's sake. I'm really cautious about being too ironic, or even flippant. I think it has to come from a place that's sincere, otherwise it comes off the wrong way; so what you say is true. The power of the technique itself is that you can kind of put anything behind it and it'll look good. In history, that's been a very manipulating force. You have to be careful. What is the message behind it? And if it's devoid of message, then it's just manipulation”.

Christian Rex van Minnen. Papa Nanners, 2020 (artist’s portfolio).
Oil on linen: 40.6 x 50.8 cm. Christian Rex van Minnen (2017): “To be completely honest I didn’t realize that they would be almost universally interpreted as candy. That wasn’t my intention, as naive as that may sound. I was mining for a new range of imagery and a technical approach that could increase contrast, both technically and conceptually. These bright, ultra-luminous, transparent, often weightless whimsical objects were the solution”.

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”.

Christian Rex van Minnen. Paralax, 2019 (artist’s portfolio).
Oil on linen: 122 x 182.9 cm. Christian Rex van Minnen (2017): “I find that in the Dutch Golden Age, where oil painting as a material reached its zenith. In terms of what oil paint can do, I think that is the height of its technical application. But I also see that period in history as the root of a lot of the world's problems, the sort of early celebration of the material and capitalism and the global economy. Everything that made that art market explode, allowing artists to be free to explore the material and subject matter was because of this explosion in the merchant class. That had a lot to do with slavery and the global marketplace, and colonization, so I have mixed emotions about it”.
