Julian Schnabel1 collaborationJulian Schnabel’s far-reaching practice spans painting, sculpture and film. Use of material throughout is expansive and mutable. Wood, velvet, linoleum, army tarpaulins and animal hides all act as sculptural surfaces – layered with mediums such as wax, car bondo and resin. Similarly, recovered postcards, old x-rays and found images become grounds for new paintings. The artist’s Plate Paintings began in the 1970s and continue today. To create them he breaks plates. Reassembles them. Then paints over the top. They arrive as portraits and landscapes – sometimes abstract, often allegorical. Self Portraits of Others (2021) at New York’s Brant Foundation examined the theme of portraiture throughout history with 25 new Plate Paintings based on emblematic works by the likes of Caravaggio, Velasquez, Vincent van Gogh and Frida Kahlo.
