        Jun. 22, 2023

        ISSHAQ ISMAIL

        Est: CHF10,000 - CHF15,000

        ISSHAQ ISMAIL (Accra 1989–lives and works in Accra) Aziz. 2019. Acrylic on canvas. Signed lower left: Isshaq. 153 × 126 cm. With the certificate by the Isshaq Ismail Studio, Accra, Ghana. Provenance: - Artist's studio. - Purchased directly from the artist by the present owner, since then private collection Austria. Isshaq Ismail was born in Accra in 1989 and is now part of Ghana's flourishing and influential art scene. He has gained international fame for his "grotesque portraits". The large-format painting offered here, "Aziz" from 2021, is dominated by a distorted face. A huge red mouth and an equally large brown nose with blue nostrils protrude from the blue face. Large eyes, differently shaped and looking in different directions, peer out of the painting. With quick, gestural brushstrokes, a strong colour palette and the impasto application of paint, the artist has brought his portrait to life. Through both form and colour the "inhuman portraits" are brought into being, and for Isshaq Ismail they are the reflection of an equally inhuman society. By means of the grotesque, he expresses emotions and moods that prevail in a social, cultural, and political present filled with fear. In this environment, many people are unable to express their worries and fears in words, and it is precisely these people that he gives voice to with his impressive portraits. His paintings are sometimes based on sketches from photographs but are mostly based on sketches that draw on his memories and experiences from the streets, public places, and public transport of the metropolis of Accra. His paintings are characterised by a range of emotions - fear, worry, discontent, insecurity, discrimination, desolation, etc. Beyond that, however, the artist refrains from any attribution: the colour palette he uses means that skin colour plays no role (he never uses brown or white for faces), the abstraction and the framing of the picture mean that neither gender nor age can be determined, and the distortions mean that no specific person can be identified. He does not paint real people, but rather personified images of the underlying emotions. This anonymisation lends his oeuvre a universal quality. Nevertheless, he insightfully presents to the viewer identities which have been shattered by fears, caused by judgements about appearance, by material aspirations, by racial or gender oppression. While studying at the Ghanatta College of Art and Design, he became familiar with the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francis Bacon. This encounter with their works helped him to break away from convention and the veneration of given forms, materials, and styles and to develop his own "grotesque" visual language. --------------- ISSHAQ ISMAIL (Accra 1989–lebt und arbeitet in Accra) Aziz. 2019. Acryl auf Leinwand. Unten links signiert: Isshaq. 153 × 126 cm. Mit dem Zertfikat des Isshaq Ismail Studio, Accra, Ghana. Provenienz: - Atelier des Künstlers. - Direkt beim Künstler vom heutigen Besitzer erworben, seitdem Sammlung Österreich. Isshaq Ismail wird 1989 in Accra geboren und gehört heute zur florierenden und einflussreichen Kunstszene Ghanas. Internationale Bekanntheit hat er durch seine „grotesken Porträts“ erlangt. Das hier angebotene, grossformatige Gemälde „Aziz“ aus dem Jahr 2021 wird von einem deformierten Gesicht beherrscht. Ein riesiger roter Mund und eine nicht weniger grosse braune Nase mit blauen Nasenlöchern ragen aus dem blauen Gesicht. Grosse, verschiedenartig geformte und in unterschiedliche Richtungen schauende Augen blicken aus dem Bild heraus. Mit schnellen, gestischen Pinselstrichen, einer kräftigen Farbpalette und dem pastosen Farbauftrag erweckt der Künstler sein Porträt zum Leben. Sowohl Form als auch Farbe lassen „unmenschliche Porträts“ entstehen, die für Isshaq Ismail die Reflektion einer ebenso unmenschlichen Gesellschaft sind. Mithilfe der grotesken Darstellung drückt er Emotionen und Stimmungen aus, die in einer angsterfüllten sozialen, kulturellen und politischen Gegenwart herrschen. In dieser Umgebung können viele Menschen ihre Sorgen und Ängste nicht in Worte fassen, und eben diesen gibt er mit seinen eindrucksvollen Bildnissen eine Stimme. Seine Gemälde basieren in einzelnen Fällen auf Skizzen nach Fotos, aber meistens auf Skizzen, die auf seine Erinnerungen und Erfahrungen auf den Strassen, öffentlichen Plätzen und Verkehrsmitteln der Metropole Accra zurückgreifen. Seine Gemälde zeichnen sich durch eine Spannbreite an Gefühlen aus – Angst, Sorgen, Unzufriedenheit, Unsicherheit, Diskriminierung, Trostlosigkeit, etc. Darüber hinaus aber enthält sich der Künstler jedweder Zuordnung: durch die verwendete Farbpalette spielt die Hautfarbe keine Rolle (er nutzt nie Braun oder Weiss für Gesichter), durch die Abstraktion und den Bildausschnitt sind weder Geschlecht noch Alter zu bestimmen und durch die Deformationen ist keine spezifische Person zu identifizieren. Er malt keine realen Personen, sondern personifizierte Bilder der zugrundeliegenden Emotionen. Diese Anonymisierung verleiht seinem Œuvre den Anspruch von Globalität. Nichtsdestotrotz zeigt er dem Betrachter aber auf einfühlsame Weise Identitäten, die durch Ängste zerbrochen sind, die durch Urteile über das Aussehen, durch materielle Bestrebungen, durch rassistische oder geschlechtsspezifische Unterdrückung verursacht werden. Während seines Studiums am Ghanatta College of Art and Design lernt er die Werke von Jean-Michel Basquiat und Francis Bacon kennen. Die Auseinandersetzung mit ihren Arbeiten hilft ihm, sich von den Konventionen und dem Respekt vor den gegebenen Formen, Materialien und Stilen zu lösen und seine eigene „grotesque“ Bildsprache zu entwickeln. ---------------

        Signed 'Isshaq'. With accompanying signed photo certificate by the artist. There is a distinct energy which emanates from Isshaq Ismails’s paintings. The large eyes, the bold clash of colours and pastose paint application led to an explosion of colour and feelings. Having grown up in Accra, the capital of Ghana, Ismail’s portraits are very much a resonance of the people he encountered on his journeys through the busy city. Born in 1989 and having studies at the acclaimed Ghanatta College of Art and Design from 2009-2012, his works have been exhibited in both Ghana and internationally, including in New York, Miami, London, Cape Town, and Dubai. In 2015 and 2016, he was shortlisted for the Kuenyehia Prize for Contemporary Art; and in 2019, he was shortlisted for the GUBA USA Influential Artist Award.

Acryl auf Leinwand. Unten links signiert: Isshaq. 153 × 126 cm. Mit der Bestätigung der Authentizität durch das Isshaq Ismail Studio, Accra, Ghana. Provenienz: - Atelier des Künstlers. - Vom heutigen Besitzer direkt beim Künstler erworben, seitdem Sammlung Österreich. „Life is not perfect, so I don’t see why I need to create perfect forms.” Isshaq Ismail Isshaq Ismail wird 1989 in Accra geboren und gehört heute zur florierenden und einflussreichen Kunstszene Ghanas. Internationale Bekanntheit hat er durch seine „grotesken Porträts“ erlangt. Das hier angebotene, grossformatige Gemälde „Aziz“ aus dem Jahr 2021 wird von einem deformierten Gesicht beherrscht. Ein riesiger roter Mund und eine nicht weniger grosse braune Nase mit blauen Nasenlöchern ragen aus dem blauen Gesicht. Grosse, verschiedenartig geformte und in unterschiedliche Richtungen schauende Augen blicken aus dem Bild heraus. Mit schnellen, gestischen Pinselstrichen, einer kräftigen Farbpalette und dem pastosen Farbauftrag erweckt der Künstler sein Porträt zum Leben. Sowohl Form als auch Farbe lassen „unmenschliche Porträts“ entstehen, die für Isshaq Ismail die Reflektion einer ebenso unmenschlichen Gesellschaft sind. Mithilfe der grotesken Darstellung drückt er Emotionen und Stimmungen aus, die in einer angsterfüllten sozialen, kulturellen und politischen Gegenwart herrschen. In dieser Umgebung können viele Menschen ihre Sorgen und Ängste nicht in Worte fassen, und eben diesen gibt er mit seinen eindrucksvollen Bildnissen eine Stimme. Seine Gemälde basieren in einzelnen Fällen auf Skizzen nach Fotos, aber meistens auf Skizzen, die auf seine Erinnerungen und Erfahrungen aus den Strassen, öffentlichen Plätzen und Verkehrsmitteln der Metropole Accra zurückgreifen. Seine Gemälde zeichnen sich durch eine Spannbreite an Gefühlen aus – Angst, Sorgen, Unzufriedenheit, Unsicherheit, Diskriminierung, Trostlosigkeit, etc. Darüber hinaus aber enthält sich der Künstler jedweder Zuordnung: durch die verwendete Farbpalette spielt die Hautfarbe keine Rolle (er nutzt nie braun oder weiss für Gesichter), durch die Abstraktion und den Bildausschnitt sind weder Geschlecht noch Alter zu bestimmen und durch die Deformationen ist keine spezifische Person zu identifizieren. Er malt keine realen Personen, sondern personifizierte Bilder der zugrundeliegenden Emotionen. Diese Anonymisierung verleiht seinem Oeuvre den Anspruch von Globalität. Nichtsdestotrotz zeigt er dem Betrachter aber auf einfühlsame Weise Identitäten, die durch Ängste zerbrochen sind, die durch Urteile über das Aussehen, durch materielle Bestrebungen, durch rassistische oder geschlechtsspezifische Unterdrückung verursacht werden. Während seines Studiums am Ghanatta College of Art and Design lernt er die Werke von Jean-Michel Basquiat und Francis Bacon kennen. Die Auseinandersetzung mit ihren Arbeiten hilft ihm, sich von den Konventionen und dem Respekt vor den gegebenen Formen, Materialien und Stilen zu lösen und seine eigene „grotesque“ Bildsprache zu entwickeln. ---------------
