Karel Fonteyne heeft een uitgebreid œuvre opgebouwd tijdens een carrière van meer dan 50 jaar in de kunst- en modefotografie. Eind jaren 1960, 1970 was hij een pionier in de wereld van de kunstfotografie. Gedurende meer dan 15 jaar was Fonteyne internationaal actief binnen de modescène zowel in Antwerpen met vroege samenwerkingen met Margiela, Dries Van Noten, Walter Van Beirendonck en Dirk Bikkembergs, als internationaal, met opdrachten voor prestigieuze magazines als Vogue, Interview, Bazaar, Marie-Claire of Brutus Magazine in Japan. In 1996 beslist hij om te stoppen met modefotografie en zich uitsluitend te richten op zijn werk als hedendaags kunstenaar. Voor de groepsexpo in de Handelsbeurs is een selectie gemaakt van enkele van zijn iconische modereeksen voor Vogue France en één beeld gerealiseerd voor Giorgio Armani.


De verhalende beelden van Karel Fonteyne overstijgen de klassieke fotografie waarbij de kunstenaar een tijdloze, soms bevreemdende en esoterische atmosfeer creëert. Zijn werk roept paradoxale gevoelens op en confronteert ons met kosmische en mystieke elementen, onze interne leefwereld gekoppeld aan vormen van eenzaamheid of isolatie, veelal gecompenseerd door een parfum van humor of surrealisme.
“I usually don’t photograph what I see but how my mind reflects it”.

+ She’s Afraid of Birds, (Print: 26,5 x 22 cm), edition of 5 signed and numbered by the artist.

Above the River: The Complete Poems of James Wright
Format: Paperback
James Wright is a terrific, though not well known, American poet of the 1950's and 60's. Along with Robert Bly and William Duffey, Wright helped to open a new page in modern poetry which encouraged writers to break from the restrictions of traditional British formats. Personal and reflective, the poems focus on nature and have a strong touch of influence from ancient Chinese poets. Though the collection is filled with great stuff, my favorite is "Northern Pike."

Sublime Poetry Slightly Flawed by Format
Format: Paperback
I hate to give this work anything less than 5-stars, because at the moment (and probably most future moments) I revere James Wright's poetry. He makes blue collar blackened river Ohio come alive riven death with darkness and life. So this book is a must for poetry lovers. Where it distracts me is the attempts at completeness is a difficult editor's dilemma and one that doesn't serve the poet or the poet's reader well here. There are two James Wright's out there (this book presents three), as is true with most sublimated artist that pass through a learning phase before hitting on their voice, their style. James Wright started as a formalist (not my favored style) hailing structure and rhyme sometimes at the expense of meaning and language (disclaimer...one man's humble opinion belies a personal taste and no two taste buds seem the same). The book of course being a complete work, offers all of those poems of bandied prose. And then the editor offers a bridge or break of sorts in Wright's translated works of German and Spanish poets. Wright was a great poet in English, but the gift of gifted translation should have been left to the likes of W.S. Merwin, Anthony Kerrigan, Charles Tomlinson, and Stephen Mitchell for Neruda, Paz, and Rilke. So, Wright's "Above the River," really first breaks the surface on page 119 after his epiphany to all thing free form. It is then that his poetry sings darkly. I leave you with some of Wright's beautiful language (there's plenty to be had). Buy the book for the rest. In Fear of Harvests It has happened Before: nearby, The nostrils of slow horses Breathe evenly, And the brown bees drag their high garlands, Heavily, Toward hives of snow.

A Twentieth Century Teasure
Format: Paperback
James Wright's poems are acts of courage. His persistent advocacy of the underdog is real and clear-eyed(American Twilights 1957, written fo the executed killer Caryl Chessman). "Arrangements with Earth for Three Dead Friends" is one of the most moving elegies I know in the language (taken from his early career). Then there are the wonderful and luminous translations "ten Short Poems: from the Spanish of Juan Ramon Jiminez, Pablo Neruda's "Anguish of Death", Cesar Vallejo's "I Am Freed" and many others. These are vital and wide-ranging poems that belong in every library.

Wow! Wright Rocks!
Format: Paperback
This collection brings together both the greater & lesser known works of James Wright so that students or lovers of poetry can get a true feeling for his style & focus. Some pieces seem less focused, while others hone in with cruel beauty on those moments where the literal and the figurative worlds collide. Brilliant poet. I recommend this book especially to serious students of poetry.
