Romantic Vividness I HÉLIO OITICICA and ROBERT MANGOLD I 008, is the eighth pairing in a series of 31 for which Jex has selected works by the Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica and American artist Robert Mangold. The works share a likewise colour, however, it is because of their stark differences that Jex has decided to pair these two artists together. Oiticica’s box with its movable drawers invites curiosity whilst Mangold’s painting appears static.

American painter Robert Kushner writes that Mangold’s paintings has ‘an almost romantic vividness of experience’. However, Jex believes it is more appropriate to apply this to Oiticica’s work. Jex says, ‘Oiticica and his South American peers spearheaded radical Twentieth Century Modernism. It was their ambition of establishing their own way that was romantic in the sense of progression in all its vividness’.

Institute of Monochrome Art is a collection of exhibition opportunities that pair together two artists whose work relates to the rules established and defined by Jex about the single colour in art and Appropriation Art. Begun in 2015, the project is an ongoing investigation to expand, explore and in some terms educate, as a bridge to showcase the variety and scope of Monochrome Art.
