CONOR MCCREEDY

CONOR MCCREEDY (Sandton/South Africa 1987 - lives and works in Zurich) Blue and white splash. 2016. Acrylic on canvas. Signed, dated and titled on the reverse: McCreedy 2016 "Splash Paintings" "Blue and white splash" DIYPTYCH, also with installation instructions. Each 101 x 70 cm (dyptich). Provenance: Artist's studio. The multiple nuances of the ocean form the starting point for Connor McCreedys monochrome compositions in blue. The artist, born in 1987 in South Africa, is fascinated by the emotional expressive power which formerly even Picasso and Yves Klein recognised in the colour blue. Connor McCreedy counts both artists as important models, but has developed his entirely personal artistic style, based on a combination of five colour components created for himself and known as McCreedyblue. This is delivered with a distinctive and expressive brush stroke, which predominates in both his figurative as well as his abstract painting. Probably his best-known series of works to date are those known as the Splash Paintings, to which the diptych presented here Blue and white splash also belongs. As the name reveals, these paintings are characterised by the dynamic splash, which heightens the expressive quality of the blue composition. The word also has further associations of success, as in the expression to make a big splash. The Splash Paintings might also be a subtle reference to Conor McCreedys international breakthrough, which came about through his legendary exhibition Outliers (2010) at the National Arts Club in New York. The then 23-year-old artist was the youngest artist to have been granted an exhibition by the club. The show, which was completely sold out, turned him into a sensation on the contemporary art scene. Nowadays, the artist, based in Zurich, exhibits his large format works in the major cities of Hong Kong, Moscow, Johannesburg and New York. Although he has by now also become active as an entrepreneur in the field of high-end design furniture, his core passion is still painting, which gives him a feeling of freedom. Furthermore, Connor McCreedy is a dedicated philanthropist. As initiator and founder of the PAL Foundation (Protecting African Lions) he regularly puts the proceeds from the sale of his works into wildlife conservation, as well as other charitable ends. --------------- CONOR MCCREEDY (Sandton/Südafrika 1987 - lebt und arbeitet in Zürich) Blue and white splash. 2016. Acryl auf Leinwand. Verso signiert, datiert und betitelt: McCreedy 2016 "Splash Paintings" "Blue and white splash" DIYPTYCH, sowie mit Hängeanweisungen. Je 101 x 70 cm (Diptychon). Provenienz: Atelier des Künstlers. Die vielfältigen Nuancen des Ozeans bilden den Ausgangspunkt für Connor McCreedys monochrome Kompositionen in Blau. Den 1987 geborenen südafrikanischen Künstler fasziniert dabei die emotionale Ausdruckskraft, die einst auch schon Picasso und Yves Klein in der Farbe Blau erkannten. Connor McCreedy zählt beide zu seinen wichtigen Vorbildern, entwickelt jedoch auf der Basis einer eigens für ihn kreierten, als McCreedyblue bezeichneten Kombination aus fünf Farbkomponenten, seine ganz persönliche künstlerische Handschrift. Diese wird insbesondere von einer distinktiv expressiven Pinselführung geprägt, die sowohl in seiner figurativen als auch abstrakten Malerei dominiert. Seine bis dato wohl bekannteste Werkreihe bilden die sogenannten Splash Paintings, zu der auch das hier angebotene Diptychon Blue and white splash gehört. Wie der Name bereits verrät, sind diese Gemälde von einem dynamischen Fleck [englisch: splash] gekennzeichnet, der die Expressivität der blauen Komposition zusätzlich steigert. Im urbanen Kontext der Redewendung to make a big splash erfährt das Wort jedoch die erweiterte Bedeutung von großem Erfolg. DieSplash Paintings können somit auch als subtiler Verweis auf Conor McCreedys internationalen Durchbruch gedeutet werden, der sich seit seiner legendären Ausstellung Outliers (2010) im National Arts Club in New York manifestiert. Der damals 23-Jährige war der jüngste Künstler, dem der Club eine Ausstellung gewährte. Die komplett ausverkaufte Show machte ihn zum Sensationstalent der zeitgenössischen Kunstszene. Heutzutage wird der nun in Zürich ansässige Künstler in den Metropolen Hong Kong, Moskau, Johannesburg und New York großformatig ausgestellt. Wenngleich er als Entrepreneur mittlerweile auch im Bereich hochwertiger Designmöbel tätig ist, bleibt seine Kernleidenschaft die Malerei, die ihm ein Gefühl von Freiheit vermittelt. Connor McCreedy ist außerdem engagierter Philanthrop. Als Initiator und Gründer der Stiftung PAL (Protecting African Lions) spendet er regelmäßig den Erlös aus dem Verkauf seiner Bilder für den Artenschutz, sowie für andere wohltätige Zwecke.

Conor McCreedy (South African 1987 -) FIVE FEMALE NUDES signed; signed three times, dated 2009 and inscribed with the title on the reverse oil, enamel, acrylic and charcoal on canvas 124,5 by 183cm, unframed “Blue has a strange and near-unspeakable effect on the eye”, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe writes in his colour system from 1810, “it is an energy as a colour. It stands alone on the negative side and is the equivalent of an enticing nothing in its highest purity”. To this day, the colour blue has remained an indefinable but ever-present cultural element that we find in our language, in fashion, in music and especially in art. For many years it has been the most popular colour in the Western world according to colour-psychology studies. 40% of men and 36% of women say that blue is their favourite colour. It is particularly the ambiguity of the colour blue – according to Goethe, its “unspeakable effect” –, that manifests in the symbol of the ocean in Mccreedy's work. His paintings reflect the blue ocean, mysteriously moved by the stars, just as indomitable, powerful and rough as it is calm and constant. From as early as six years old Conor McCreedy was fascinated with pigments and painting. His love for the female form developed in the later years. Known for his wild brush strokes that show magnificent lines combined with authority and precision. McCreedy has grown up in Southern Africa. At a tender age he had mastered fine oil landscape paintings while in high school. Moving to NYC at nineteen years old allowed him to break into the exciting modern, contemporary art world and certainly the market.McCreedy now resides between two continents namely Africa and Europe. In 2010 he launched his Iconic colour known as the trademarked colour -Mccreedyblue. This painting was created just two years after the world financial crisis in 2008. During this time McCreedy was based in New York City which was the art and financial capital of the world.The photograph of the original image that inspired McCreedy to create this painting was photographed by the late Herb Ritts. The painting took six years to evolve into what it is now. If this painting was X-ray photographed, it would allow the viewer to see the perfect charcoal renderings behind the paint. McCreedy would have free-handedly drawn the figures onto the canvas. The sketch was done in charcoal from the photograph. Later on in Mccreedy’s development with his signature blue style he completely “Mccreedyfied” his perfectly drawn charcoal on canvas into a haunting – yet magnificent, bursting power of rich blue hues. If turned upside down, the painting also resembles a frighteningly accurate, anatomic study of the human heart.Reference:• Blue – From Goethe to McCreedy A brief history of the art and culture of a colour von Elena Süllwald KunsthistorikerinText courtesy of the artist.
