Bogart, Bram | Extase, 1958 - 59 — available on Composition Gallery
oil and mixed media on canvas - Signed and dated 59; signed, dated juin 59 – Bogart Nov’ 58 and titled Extase on the stretcher - Executed in 1958-1959.
Extase by Bram Bogart, created between 1958 and 1959, is a textured mixed-media painting that demonstrates Bogart's pioneering approach to materiality in art. Executed with thick applications of oil paint and other mixed media on canvas, the work's surface is rugged and sculptural, with earthy tones of rust, gray, and ochre dominating the composition. The heavily layered texture and bold brushstrokes give the painting a tactile, almost geological quality, embodying a sense of physicality and depth. Bogart’s technique transforms the canvas into a terrain of expressive abstraction, where color and form collide to evoke intense emotion.

What is matter painting?

What is matter painting?

Matter painting is a technique that involves blending thick impasto paints with materials like cement, mud, sand, or shells. The term first emerged in the 1950s to describe the works of Belgian and Dutch painters who explored the physical properties of painting materials and the different ways paint could be manipulated. This approach emphasizes texture and the tactile qualities of the surface, creating a sculptural effect on the canvas.
