Abstractus Programme 1 (1 of 3)
Author:
Contemporary Art programme broadcasted by GBC Television featuring Gibraltarian artist Paul Cosquieri (COSQUI). The programme covers many of the different branches of Modern and Contemporary Art such as Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, Neo Expressionism, Conceptual Art, Surrealism, Grafitti Art, Mixed Media etcetera, etcetera. ABRACTUS consists of 12, half hour programmes in which Paul will tackle various techniques he normally employs in his art and also explain a few commonly known, yet frequently misunderstood contemporary art definitions. Every programme will see Paul attempting to complete an entire painting in the technique and or styled chosen for the day. The twelve programmes have been filmed in Pauls studio and are entirely the efforts of a two man team comprising of GBCs Andrew Agius, whose role has been that of filming, producing and composing the music score, whilst Paul has taken care of researching, painting and presenting the series.

In 2008, artist Jim Dine created an installation for the Museum at the Getty Villa. The first contemporary art project at the Villa, the work presents new sculpture and poetry by Dine inspired by ancient objects in the Museum’s collection. Two ancient Greek statuettes of dancing women, are magnified in Dine’s four eight-foot-high painted wood female figures. Their arrangement around a seven-foot-high self-portrait head echoes the sculptural group Poet as Orpheus with Two Sirens. The artist’s highly personal vision finds further expression in a poem drawn on the walls, with its Orphic themes of travel, loss, and the possibilities of art. Dine describes his creative process in this documentary.
