Jim Lee - easy is hard
Everyday life objects that are familiar to the viewer compose Jim Lee’s sculptures, paintings and installations. As they give off the aura of “the found”, they inspire connotations linked to Arte Povera. Their basic structure is preserved, but is getting recomposed in a certain manner. Those workings could be reduced to fundamental terms as Colour, Form, Line and Shape but this statement would not cope with the sublime play of…

Group show ‘Local Paintings’ at Markus Winter in Berlin
‘Local Paintings’ is questioning the concept of the ‘international style’ in modernist art. Apart from being often associated with an individual relationship to the artwork or the focus on personal expression, the title evokes a connection between the painting and the world outside the gallery/studio walls, a relationship repressed by modernist art theory.
The show confronts the work of four painters, of different nationalities, with different educational, professional and social backgrounds…

They reconstruct this scene and the works of these artists through the use of toys, such as Lego figures or a Carrera racetrack.
"By using children’s toys as…

Sven-Ole Frahm and Alexander Knych at ART COLOGNE
Markus Winter, hall 4.1, booth D 61
Sven-Ole Frahm
“The ‚cut and paste’ of the canvas marks the initial, definitive step in the paintings made in rather spontaneous movements of dripping and pouring. In confrontation with a parallel developed structure the process of painting does not derive from it.” Heike van den Valentyn
Alexander Knych
“The lamp measures the distance to the light, it throws a shadow and produces darkness with the distance. The…

Cora Cohen – Abstraction

Employing a wide range of processes and media, including oil, raw pigment, acrylic, pastel, enamel, and graphite, Cohen succeeds in producing works of unsettling optical effect. In February 2005, New York critic Stephen Maine referred to Cohen’s visuals in…

Prestigious artist Sven-Ole Frahm is showing in Berlin
Painting or object? The artist Sven-Ole Frahm approaches his cut and constructed surfaces with both a delightful, painterly method and a calculating, sculptural one. In Frahm’s works the sculptural method of creating is as essential as the act of painting. With Frahm it is a matter of “fathoming standpoints and prying open habits of seeing.”
Honored with accolades and prizes
Recently Frahm was honored with the 60th “Bergische Kunstpreis,” sponsored by…
