“James Coignard”

Vi, Mirja och jag samt vár son och dotter hade det fantastiska nöjet att fá tillbringa en hel helg tillsammans med James Coignard och hans förtjusande hustru.

Det var en underbar upplevelse att fá röra sig fritt i hans fantastiska atelje’ och fotografera hur mycket jag ville. Jag kan lova att min Canon-kamera nästan gick varm.

Underbara bildminnen som Mirja och jag ofta tittar pá och vi drömmer oss ofta  tillbaka till denna lyckliga tid, som för alltid finns inristade i vára minnens innehállsrika dagböcker.

Happy to say, this 2 beautiful paintings are in Mirjas and my private collection.

Mirja and our very good friend

James Coignard.

“James Coignard”  is one of our favourite artists.

Mirja and me have had many and big art-exhibition in our

Galleri ESS of this very nice, successful and

well-known painter.

We have also been in his studio a couple of times and I have been using my camera very much.

We do have a big private collection in our home and it is a pleasure

that everyday take a look at all this beautiful paintings.

James Coignard's painting has long been nourished at a well-spring of comfort. Today it has found peace, is almost serene in appearance, determined at all costs not to swerve one jot from its central theme. It has advanced beyond the debris of forms, subjects or compositions, beyond the daring which always attends the birth of a new logos, now it celebrates a rediscovered order, a calm patiently built up step by step.

In doing this it sets our minds at rest; without understatement or undue fuss it is able to convey, repeat or confirm its message - in short to be concerned only with itself.

These masks, the old familiar faces, have today become ageless and no longer need to inform us of the fact, being as far removed from the memory of their birth as from any risk of annihilation. Their battles are over, they have no new worlds to conquer. They are their own justification. They have found their proper niche, while the canvas revolves about them as from a rough, pulverised space, and other more fleeting outlines grow in number, other idols creating a needed interlude in the story, to affirm time and again a preconceived idea which has never been gainsaid - the idea of coexistence.

The space in which everything has to be said is bounded by four wide strokes - a bold red blot, the mat ochre of the walls; a forest of graffiti bursts open showing traces of a thousand accumulated transitions, the basic mosaic unfolds itself in the distance in subdued scratches.

The riddle grows harder, and also the refusal to exclude. The ambiguity of an immanent. being whose strength and weakness are forever complementary must at all costs be preserved.

And this statement is not accompanied by any need for an expla­nation. There is no accomplice, no reference system. Man and matter, a king of fatality and the comforting unforeseen - the pulverised scraps of a dual truth give nourishment to each other. This painting has now reached the emphatic serenity of renewed conviction. With its experiments, its daring themes, its false steps, and even its awkward gestures thrown off at random for the sake of their truthfulness. .

But these relief’s, in collision with the fragility of a line, have not suddenly emerged from nowhere. By means of corrected profiles, successive impasto, the space has been changed, contracted and crystallised into a massive task whose texture feeds on the diluted surroundings. By means of contrast, as witness this solidified shadow of a prisoner. Provided a stream of lava has not covered everything up, leaving only a light stroke, a faint gleam of hope to point up the ambivalence.

And the colour only becomes visible afterwards, irrigating the parched land... colour born of the bark, charm stemming from mass. The

light strokes in diapered pink, green and yellow triangles are

superadded - felt as kind of offering thrown in for good weight. To appease a hungry world, to suggest that however stony the garden,

the plant, with all its delicacy, must always triumph in the end.
