Mahi toi
Mark van Yetter
Untitled, 2015
Artist Mark van Yetter’s paintings and drawings establish an intoxicating mélange of memory and imagination and strengthened by the understated impact of an array of precedents incorporating the art of ancient times, the old masters, folk art and the history of graphic illustration.
Yetter was born in 1978 and lives and curates his works in Berlin, Germany. Despite extracting inspiration from the varying aspects of rural Pennsylvania, his native landscape, the images of slanting narratives witnessed amid Mark van Yetter’s body of works frequently translate in a pale, illusory state, portraying a whimsical, reverie zeitgeist.
The artist respects the practice of painting as an instinctive and intensely understanding means of contemplating thoughts within a visual language. Ko te miro whanui puta noa i nga mahi toi a Vestter ko te whakaahua o nga anecdotes whakamarama me nga korero kino, Ko te whakamaori i nga tohu tohu me nga momo peita peita. Hei tauira, Ko nga kaimakitaki o ana mahi toi ka pa ki nga whakaahua o te lavatory peehi tonu, nudes mamao, atua o te atua, Nga whakaahua o te pini, me nga kohinga nui o nga puna puna, ipu, hī ika, me nga Kaitirotiro.

“Ka titiro au ki te ahua o te ao hou ka iti ake ahau i te paanga,” Ka whakamāramahia ano hoki me te uiui tuihono. “Kaore pea tenei e tino aro ki te kaikiri. He maamaa engari he aronganui hoki, he tino mohio kaore e kitea e te tauhokohoko. Ki taku whakaaro ko te mea e tumanako ana ahau mo aku mahi. Ko tetahi pono me te pono. Ki taku whakaaro kaore au e angitu ki te mea e hiahiatia ana kia maarama.”
I runga i te tirohanga tuatahi o nga mahi a Vester, Te ahua nei me te mea e mahi ana ia i te amalgam o nga momo, mai i te peita, whakaahua, korero korero-korero, me etahi atu mahi tohu tohu tohu, Ahakoa ko te kaitoi kaore i te whakaaro e hanga ana e ia tetahi raina motuhake. Whakakapi, Ka whakauruhia e ia te whakakotahitanga o nga tikanga me te tatari mo etahi awe ki te eke ki tana haerenga auaha. Ko te tikanga ka whakatata atu ki tana mahi toi i roto i te ahua koretake me te koretake, Kei te pai ake a Vester ki nga mea iti rawa atu, tuku i tana mahi auaha ki te whakahaere.
