Pers over ‘Suspicious meetings’
Article Annelies A.A. Van Belle in the Art Couch 13/3/2021
“We love this oeuvre full of double entendres, which, while often reporting from the melancholy caverns of our existence, also has a poetic, soteriological effect…” Lees meer:
Article Marc Ruyters in H-art 112
Johan Clarysse actually paints stealthily, and that is not a bad thing. He avoids transparency and clarity, always stops just short of the purely figurative and realistic, uses pale colors that avoid a beautiful aesthetic, puts double bottoms in the possible interpretations…

Article Johan Debruyne (Kunstmagazine)
“Clarysse paints life in all its aspects, but there is a veil in front of it…I have previously sung the praises of Clarysse’s work, still witnessed his debut, followed his interesting evolution. Like the wine, he gets better and better…”

2020 END, Art project New York
Empirical Nonsense announces the launch of Empirical Nonsense Daily (END), an online art project, which will run for 365 consecutive days from August 1st, 2020 through July 31st, 2021.
The constant barrage of terrible news reports alongside the closure of galleries, theaters, and music venues because of COVID-19, prompted Empirical Nonsense to invite artists of all disciplines to come together in bringing some inspiration and much needed hope.
END features a different artist contribution every twenty-four hours. Through these small acts, established and emerging artists and artists who submitted their work through Empirical Nonsense’s website, unite in solidarity in an effort to offer everyone a chance to take refuge from today’s strenuous times.
“The artists are on our side! I mean those poets and painters, singers and musicians, novelists and playwrights who speak to the world in a way that is impervious to assault because they wage the battle for justice in a sphere which is unreachable by the dullness of ordinary political discourse.” — Howard Zinn

2020 Ipse dixit: 34 sonnetten, 34 schilderijen
Ipse Dixit, 34 sonnetten, 34 schilderijen, is een kruisbestuiving tussen woord en beeld en het resultaat van een samenwerking tussen literator Frans Boenders en schilder Johan Clarysse.
Uitgeverij De Gebeten Hond, Harelbeke, 80 p.
Boekvoorstelling: 27 december om 15u in galerie S&H De Buck, Gent
“…Boenders wijdt 33 sonnetten aan leven en werk van de presocratici ( 4de-6de eeuw voor Christus), de grondleggers van onze westerse wijsbegeerte die Friedrich Nietzsche, als 24-jarige prof, verfrissende aandacht gaf in zijn colleges aan de universiteit van Basel. Beeldend kunstenaar Johan Clarysse heeft een uitzonderlijk wijsgerig getint oeuvre opgebouwd waaruit hij 33 spannende beelden naast de gedichten plaatst. Ze verlenen luister aan deze leerpoëzie, waarvan ze de tijdloze oervragen heel zeitgemäss actualiseren. Clarysse verdiept het raadsel daarmee ook esthetisch.” (perstekst)
