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.

The four painters presented in the current group show Before and Behind the Figures’ were carefully curated to create an exhibition that is a dialogue between various outposts within the broad field of  “genuine” painting
– that is an expression of the real, immediate personal emotions/perceptions of the artist.

Rikako Kawauchi’s work has extreme, often disturbing intensity and immediacy, almost as if you could feel her pulse rate in the line of her pencil. Drawing, as Kawauchi writes of her own work method, is like the sound box of her own body, which processes the reactions to other bodies and their physicality.

As in a limited print edition, Sevriens has taken a series of 100 original historical bank notes and rendered each one a collage with the addition of a signed contact sheet photo of one of his Beuys portraits. As each bill already sports a unique serial number there was no need to number each work in the edition.
