A Hans Saele quote: "After postmodernism comes cultural pee break".
Sue Hostetler and Allen Adamson on art and branding
Sue Hostetler: Well, on the face of it, I do think that in the last five to ten years there has been this heightened sense about branding oneself as an artist, among the most obvious examples being Damien Hirst, Murikami or Jeff Koons. Dealers are global, the art world is global and more competitive, and there is a frenzied immediacy with the media and the market for art – everything happens so much faster – partly the result of the Internet. In addition, there’s been a proliferation of art fairs, not just Art Basel but, most recently, Frieze New York. However, if you go all the way back, I think Picasso was really one of the first artists who thought about his work in a more global, broader manner. He realized he was a great painter, but he also realized that this ability, his innate talent, in and of itself, wasn’t going to be enough. He knew he had to create an aura, some way to define himself beyond his art to prompt fascination and intrigue if he wanted those in the art world to take note.
Allen Adamson: This is true for any brand. Yes, you’re selling a product and, first and foremost, to succeed it must be a superior product, but people also want an original back story. It’s not just the “what,” but the “who” that motivates consumers and, more so, that builds connections between consumer and brand. Both things have to work in conjunction.
SH: Certainly you raise the value, and in Picasso’s instance he knew he could raise the value and sell more art if he created this captivating brand persona. Think about it. Way before Madonna, Cher, Sting, he was known by a single name. He knew that this single moniker would set him apart from other artists. Picasso knew, as well, that he had to drive the bus in terms of his background story. If he didn’t do it, he knew someone else would, and probably not to his liking.

In The Cut Between What Is And What Seems To Be
mandag 7. juli 2014
Abstract Reality
H.E. Saele, Oil on canvas, 2001, 100x100cm
About the term "Abstract Realism": First time the two words "Abstract and Realism" officially were used in synchronization by H.E.Saele (in order to describe a specific visual art expression) was in Gallery Episteme, Copenhagen, Denmark, June 1999, the exhibiton was called "Abstrakt Realisme" - Abstract Realism. (Episteme utstillingen opplyst om i Berlingske Tidende DK 1999)
H.E.Saele: Fusionist paintings may now and then produce a sense of abstract reality.
Said on the fusionist art of H.E.Saele:
I hold these images for work of art that goes beyond the present time.
Professor Aleksandra Bielecka
H:E:Saele: You'll find the power of fusionist painting in the cut between creativity and destruction.
About fusionism in art
The style of fusionism (Abstract Realism) was in the 1980ies considered "messy" by most viewers and gallery owners, referring to the mix of realism and what seems to be abstract/non figurative. Today the same paintings hardly seems "messy".
But this was long before release of www (by CERN, 30 april 1993), and the rise of photoshop and it's like, which resulted in a commercial expression that often reminds of early fusionist paintings. The earliest obvious fusionist drawings and paitings by H.E.Saele, dates back to the 1970ies.
Oslo Art Gallery, fusjonist utstilling , september 11, 2012:
Utstillingen i Oslo Art Gallery har et retrospektivt tilsnitt og viser malerier og arbeider i blandingsteknikk på papir, noen datert tilbake til begynnelsen av 1980 tallet. Stilen veksler mellom realisme og «fusjonisme», en stilkombinasjon av det figurative og det mer abstrakte, en stil Sæle har arbeidet med siden 1970 -tallet. Birger Joachimsen, Oslo Art Gallery.

Why the abrupt title on this heroin painting? Because we all know about someone, anyone can fill in a name.

Professor Aleksandra Bielecka
H.E. Saele's first fusionist paintings goes back to early 1970s. The term "Fusionism" in painting is concequently used by Saele through decays. The style of fusionism was in the 1980s considered "messy", by viewers and gallery owners, referring to the mix of realism and what seems to be abstract/non figurative.
This was decays before the Internet (released by CERN, 30 april 1993) and the rise of photoshop and its like, which expression often reminds of early fusionist paintings.
Genuine fusionist paintings are painted fully by the one and same artist. A fully personal expression.
