Presentation
It was thought that painting had to bow before the swift development of photography and cinema by definitively disengaging itself from figuration and narration. The history of modern art has never ceased to promote a concrete, dematerialised, objectivised painting in a state of forms and colours. Raised with the realism of mechanical images, today's public of the multimedia era has acquired the ability to understand the most violent of motifs. This distancing is assured by the identification of contexts of a precise distribution, which modify the limits of what can be borne case by case. In cinema, images of war are recognised as being fictional, on the TV news as being pure information; in the best of worlds, they are seen as comprehensible, in the worst as anodyne.
The Dutch artist, Ronald Ophuis, calls into question these distancing mechanisms by rehabilitating painting as a channel for transmission in order to show basic horror. Once painted, the depictions of rape, murder or torture that we generally see on screens break the literal (and not literary) pact between the author and the viewer. The images cease to be only images and absent reality gains substance as a result. By definition, figuration has nothing of the factuality or instantaneous nature of a photograph; it is a process the result of which can only be elaborated. To paint, Ronald Ophuis has to concentrate his mental and technical faculties to get beyond the ordinary depiction and attain the terrifying reconstruction. The fiction - which is nevertheless considerable since he is not a witness of the scenes he paints - is emptied to give way to the dramas which for the observer have no discernible beginning or end.
Exhibiting Ronald Ophuis for the Ceysson gallery is a matter of accompanying the painting of contemporary history, not for what it is capable of showing of our times, but for what it entails in absolute terms. Some critics refuse to associate this painting to the greater genre (as Félibien dubbed it), because they say that there is no metaphysical reasoning behind his scenes of violence. But on the contrary, Ronald Ophuis stuns for the way he delves to the very bottom of human nature where only the silences are intelligible.

My work consists of the creating and painting of fictitious events. I stage the drama in my studio. Actors playing and reconstructing the scene in front of a camera. Before I start I do my research and read a lot about the story, I gather statements and images. I try to visit the places I will reconstruct and take photographs of the environment in which the story took place. I talk to people who were really there and have experienced the story I want to show in my painting. I collect clothes they were wearing or have them made for me.
I take a lot of photographs of the actors in my studio. The best ones I will use for the life size paintings. De actors are set in scenes such as an execution, a miscarriage, a rape, a war scene, etc.
The painting tells a fictitious story but the metaphor of the painting can’t be ignored because of the affect the painting will evoke. The emotion the painting can bring on is real. For this, poetry or art is more suited than CNN. Journalism informs you but gives you less feeling of suffering, confusion, deprivation or fear. Journalism is much more superficial and does not appeal to beauty or style as art can do.
A work of art gives you the opportunity to identify with an other person. With the victim but also with the offender. I try not to work with set morals because your frame of mind will stay within a confined area and the impact of the work will diminish. The way that is dealt with violence and sexuality within my work increases the possibility to identify with the subject in the paintings. Even if they’re not the phantasies of the spectator, the experience will be physical and less easy to ignore. A painting claims more time and if you’re moved by the work you will take more time to read it. Not only the depiction but also the way it has been painted claims your attention.
