Over the past two decades, NordArt has firmly established itself as a prominent fixture among European art fairs, attracting an estimated 100,000 art enthusiasts from Germany and beyond. Spanning an expansive area of more than 20,000m2 indoors and 80,000m2 outdoors, this year’s event promises ample room to showcase a portion of ANTOINETTE’s captivating 250-piece art cycle, “Mythos Europa.”
Background: Unveiling the Cultural Identity of Europe
ANTOINETTE, an esteemed painter hailing from the Leipzig school, has dedicated over 35 years of her artistic career to exploring the cultural identity of our continent. Her extensive body of work delves deep into the subject, unraveling captivating narratives and captivating cycles. Europe, she asserts, encompasses far more than the mere sum of its nation-states, as it boasts a shared history and a collective cultural heritage.

The project “Mythos Europa” serves as a platform to elucidate stories from Europe’s mythology through figurative paintings, providing insights into how we perceive these images. It delves into the essence of the continent, exploring the inner state of Europe and the external image it projects to the world. As part of a series of events traversing European cities, the exhibition tour featuring 30-150 large-format works by ANTOINETTE constitutes the core, fostering critical reflections and discussions on Europe’s past, present, and future.

ANTOINETTE – MYTHOS EUROPA: A Journey into European Myths
ANTOINETTE’s artistic journey has centered around the exploration of myths and legends from European cultural history since her early days as a painter. She has displayed a particular fascination with the female figures who wield influence over events through their skills, destinies, emotions, and strength. Over the span of 35 years, ANTOINETTE has delved deep into the saga of Europa, the Phoenician princess who fell victim to Zeus, the father of the gods, disguised as a bull. Riding across the sea with Europa on his back, the bull arrived on the island of Crete, where legend holds that he fathered three children with her. Europa, thus, became the progenitor of the Cretan royal family and lent her name to the entire continent of Europe.

The first painting featuring the iconic “Lady on the Bull” motif dates back to 1980. Initially, ANTOINETTE explored the role of the female figure, delving into the formal contradictions between femininity and masculinity, as well as the dynamics between genders. The motif remained a recurring theme in her creative contemplations, leading to the exploration of other subjects such as the acquisition and preservation of power, the shared archaic roots of mythology, and the contemporary identity of Europe. Through symbolic imagery, ANTOINETTE subtly references the current political landscape of the continent, touching upon themes of unity, divergence, the advent of a single currency, and the shared historical and cultural foundations of the European value system.

The Face of EUROPE: A Celebration of Women’s Contributions
Since 2014, ANTOINETTE has embarked on a quest to find the face of EUROPA, the namesake of our continent. Coinciding with upcoming anniversaries commemorating women’s suffrage across numerous European nations, she has crafted 100 life-size portraits of women from various European countries. These portraits serve as a testament to the profound impact these women have had on society, leading the way to gender equality. The thematic exploration in this collection seeks to highlight and celebrate the accomplishments of European integration, intertwining the threads of success with the vibrant tapestry of the continent.
ANTOINETTE
The NordArt 2023 exhibition promises a captivating journey into the heart of Europe’s cultural mythology through ANTOINETTE’s masterpieces. With her artistic prowess and profound insights, ANTOINETTE invites visitors to ponder the intricate layers of our shared heritage and contemplate the complexities of the present and the future. As the exhibition unfolds, it offers a unique opportunity to engage in an immersive exploration of Europe’s artistic and cultural tapestry, leaving a lasting impression on all those who seek to understand and appreciate the rich depth of our collective identity.
They say opposites attract and similarities repel, however, some beg to differ, and in reality, mash ups and diversity always create unique and beautiful creatures. This holds true and is the case proven with decadent artworks in the exhibition, The Perfect Storm, a quintessential collection by Katrin Fridriks and Jan Kaláb debuting at BC Gallery in Basel.
Together, Katrin and Jan have found the ultimate sweet spot of their individual artistic expression to radiate into a new realm with breathtaking pieces evoking sensory stimulations, where you can’t look away and become happily lost within its movements and colors.
“Katrin and I spoke about collaborating on a project together a few years ago, and the timing was perfect when the opportunity came up for a duo show at BC Gallery in Basel. The significant similarities and clashes of our works made us think it could be an interesting match. In the beginning, we thought we would do just one or two collaborative paintings for this show, but this turned into a creative storm, and we ended up building the whole show out with more than twenty collaborative paintings. We shipped the paintings back and forth between Katrin’s studio in the south of France and my studio in Prague. It was an absolute pleasure to work on Katrin’s splash paintings to create new depths in her spontaneous abstract figures, and to elaborate her lines in my compositions. This project took us completely out of our comfort zones – challenging us immensely, and it was super fun. The results are beyond our expectations,” says Jan.
“Fridriks works in spurts of creation. Each of her paintings is the result of a moment of high concentration where the artist’s body and mind align. As a painter working entirely without a brush, she prepares herself mentally and physically for each session, mixing her signature colours and attuning her tools. Using self-taught body techniques, she can now create energy-loaded, complex paintings in the space of seconds.”
Director and Curator of BC Gallery, Nick Bargzei further elaborates, “having worked with Jan for several years, and following and collecting Katrin Fridriks’ work for about the same time; the subject matter of their respective art was already familiar to the gallery. The integrity and trust between Katrin and Jan is extraordinarily rare and a sight unseen. To send a whole body of work to another artist, countless hours of labor, powerless in the hands of another miles away in another country with no margin of error – whom yes, you know of, follow and respect in his or her work, however, only met once – to continue working on was unprecedented in the ten years of running the gallery. Needless to say, the experience of this collaboration was, at times, quite anxious and exciting, but most of all…inspiring!”
BC Gallery was founded in 2013 in Berlin and moved to Basel in 2020. Directed and curated by Nick Bargezi and co-curated by Sarah Fischer, the gallery features regular solo and group exhibitions by international contemporary artists as well as providing secondary market inventory and art consultation for collectors. Secondary market inventory includes artworks by Shepard Fairey, D-Face, Retna, Dran, Pejac, TLP, and more.
