About the Item
During one year of Covid-19 self-isolation, career artists Annette Blady and Al Van Mil created something completely new to express the impact of 2020 on their lives. Inventing a technique they call MOULAGE, they produced a collection of unexpected and evocative 3D paintings that literally rise from the canvas. Their inspiration was the momentum that results when individuals joined together by adversity make positive changes.
With a vision of paintings that literally break free of the canvas, Blady + Van Mil re-invented moulage through experimentation in the early days of the pandemic. It became their way of holding onto positivity as the enormity of the crisis was revealed. Collage captured the idea that many small actions add up to new hope. Moulding the canvas – allowing it to rise and flow – gave momentum to that feeling.
Also propelling this new technique was the artists’ desire to reinvent the preciousness embedded in the fine arts paradigm. To create each moulage, they purposely cut up many of their own prized works into small pieces.
Professional collaborators, married for 40 years, Blady + Van Mil always start with a big idea and play together to see where it might go, accepting both success and failure as drivers of progress. This is the first time they collaborated on an entire collection. The success of this project has inspired them both to experiment with this style further.
