Fendry Ekel Entries is a comprehensive monograph with contributions by several international art historians, looking into the painter's recent work on canvas from 2011 to 2015. The first chapter, Chess Problems: On the Paintings of Fendry Ekel, is an introduction by the prize-winning Belgian author Christophe Van Gerrewey. It addresses Ekel's aesthetic thinking as well as the artistic strategies he applies when dealing with images. For the second chapter, ten art historians, one curator and one artist, all colleagues of the book's editor Astrid Honold, have been matched with a particular painting from Ekel's oeuvre and invited to write about it, departing from Van Gerrewey's observations. This adaptation of the catalogue entry, a concise commissioned text on one specific artwork, allows for an in-depth study of Ekel's practice, based on phenomenological facts and bringing together multiple individual perspectives as well as theoretical approaches. The concept of this book, which departs from artistic practice in establishing a close relationship between image and text, is reflected in its intelligent and refined layout by Studio Laucke Siebein, Amsterdam/Berlin Black Cat Publishing's sole partner for graphic design matters since the publisher was founded in 2005.
