The works on paper signed by Sigmar Polke and dated from 1999, 2002 and 2003 are exhibited for the first time as a group. They are a wonderful example of the typical combination of various painting media, including spray paint, silkscreen, ink, watercolors and interference colors used by Polke.

For Rikako Kawauchi ‘s second exhibition at our gallery, we are showing her oil painting for the first time, in tandem with a selection of the latest drawings on paper. In contrast to the clear, light and airy drawings, in which the forms float and breath in the often empty space of the pristine paper, Kawauchi’s oil paintings display a strong physical presence: in the thick, fresh layers of colorful material that form the weighty, abstract foundation, the palette knife is used to carve out motives that nevertheless transport the same somatic energy as the thin, minimalistic lines drawn on paper.

The idea for the current exhibition came when taking a closer look at the work of Roy Mordechay and Frans Roermond. One thing the two artists have in common in that they are both deeply influenced by artworks well beyond their immediate purview.

A selection of about 40 original vintae prints by Karl Hugo Schmölz (1917-1986) shows once again the faboulous quality of this master of architecture photography.

The current exhibition includes new works from all of Neufanger’s oeuvre and also presents his extensive oeuvre of posters, posters, printed matter and books.

For 30 years, Elger Esser has travelled the regions of France searching for archetypical landscapes. In his most recent works the experience of landscape concentrates on the transition from the coastline to the sea and on up into the sky above, with its spectacle of changing cloud formations.

In his current exhibition „A Twitter at the Palisades“, the Düsseldorf based artist Lorenzo Pompa brings together his recent works, all created for this stage. The title, as is often with Pompa, has a double meaning which gives rise in our mind to an image at the margin of the unknown, that vast space which we can never dominate.

The 141 original pencil drawings shown comprise a series that Roermond began in 2017, aiming to render the entirety of Samuel Beckett’s theatre piece ‘Play’ in this form. The drawings also provide the material for an “abstract graphic novel”, published in book form to accompany the exhibition.

The current exhibition ‘Material Tension’ brings together a group of works created in 2021 and 2022. Robert Currie (*1976, London) had the specific challenges of our gallery space in mind when making his selection, which features a stark element of contrast, the geometric-abstract vis-à-vis the photorealistic-representational.
