Artist Statement:
E.C. Corbitt - The Comedian of
Horror
If one accepts the current
Postmodernist perspective on
the development of “modernism”
in painting, several faulty
assumptions about its history
become evident. The popular
view that painting passed
through a series
representational phases –
Impressionism,
Post-Impressionism, Fauvism,
Cubism, etc., only to triumph
in the achievements of pure
abstraction, now appears
historically naive and
dominated by a Western
European bias.
Very few artists, whether in
their vision or their work,
have so successfully
challenged the simplicity of
this view as E.C. Corbitt. A
few international painters –
Francis Bacon, Paul Cadmus,
Lucien Freud – while deeply
influenced by trends in
twentieth-century art, have
also remained committed to
representation of the human
figure.
Corbitt, who spent the last
twenty-five years working in
Europe, also retains the
centrality of the figure,
while incorporating aspects of
the American art scene – the
various forms of Pop, Op, and
Conceptual Art – that
consolidate his American
experience and give his work a
unique vision. His technical
ability, use of colour, and
refreshing sense of wit –
combined with a healthy dose
of sarcasm (derived, it
appears, from an early
exposure to Mad Magazine) -
involve the viewer in a
stimulating journey.
