"Sergey Brin & Larry Page 1 (404)" Painting

THE FAMOUS PAINTINGS SECTION FROM DAVIS MUSEUM The Davis Lisboa Mini-Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona Davis Lisboa, "Sergey Brin & Larry Page 1 (404)", 2021, oil on canvas, 23.6 H x 23.6 W x 1.6 in. (60 Al x 60 An x 3.5 P cm) What / who inspired the work? Conceptually, I was inspired by a photo by Ralph Orlowski of the Google founders Sergey Brin (left) and Larry Page (right) smile prior to a news conference during the opening of the Frankfurt book fair on October 7, 2004 in Frankfurt, Germany.

I hope viewers understand that there is a narrative within art history that is about the artists who created their own museums. This narrative is constructed through Marcel Duchamp (Boîte-en-valise, 1936-1941), Robert Filliou (La galerie légitime, 1962-1963) and Marcel Broodthaers (Musée d'Art Moderne, Département des Aigles, 1968-1972) . Following this narrative, I decided to create the Davis Museum, The Davis Lisboa Mini-Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona (2009-ongoing), which is, simultaneously, a readymade sculpture, a non-profit collective artistic project and at the same time, a cultural entity recognized by the Generalitat de Catalunya (Autonomous Community of Spain). Davis Museum Barcelona https://www.davismuseum.com Generalitat of Catalunya http://pect.cultura.gencat.cat/difusio/Fitxa?index=347&consulta=MCU0KzA4MDE5MyU%3D&codi=C10568&fbclid=IwAR2uhNxa7NSoGum5xBWsAkVJI_G1XW8eVGFZzc5F_G1XW8eVGFZzk5F_G1XW8eVGFZzk5F_G1XW8eVGFZzk5F_ Created symbolically in a ballot box and disseminated mainly through Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest, the Davis Museum is also the smallest contemporary art museum in the world. This cultural entity has several sections and one of them is "The Famous Paintings Section From Davis Museum". It is divided into portraits and still lifes. The portraits represent Marcel Duchamp, Robert Filliou, and Marcel Broodthaers; while still lifes represent the "Boîte-en-valise" (Box in a suitcase), the "Galerie légitime" (Legitimate Gallery) and the "Musée d'Art Moderne, Département des Aigles" (Museum of Modern Art, Department of Eagles). From 2021, I decided to add to the group of portraits the CEOs of technology companies that are linked to the operation of the Davis Museum: Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Mark Zuckerberg; at the same time I created a new group of landscape paintings, in which their respective companies are represented: Apple (1976), Google (1998) and Facebook (2004). Why did you choose the medium, the frame format and the color? I chose oil on canvas because I am interested in painting not only for its versatility as a medium, but also for its rich historical repository of images and ideas. Only the best materials have been used for this work: linen canvas, Old Holland oils and Blockx and Talens media. Since the Davis Museum is a cube, I chose to frame the paintings as square. I chose the gray color for the paintings from 2011 to 2016; then only blue for paintings from 2016 to 2018; and in full color for paintings from 2019 to the next. "The Famous Paintings Section" is the only section of the Davis Museum where works of art are sold. Support the Davis Museum art project by purchasing this Saatchi Art painting now.
