(openPR) - Additional presentation from Markus Winter
From September 30 to October 4, 2006 ART FORUM BERLIN presents an international art fair that showcases innovative, contemporary art. The fair attracts artists and visitors worldwide, and this year over 100 exhibitors are expected. In the same spirit of innovation, the galleries in Berlin will also be presenting their best work. The Markus Winter Gallery is exhibiting a special presentation of international art parallel to the fair. The public will be awed by the two exhibitions, which could not be more different from one another. Extended opening hours until midnight also make a late visit for those night owls possible.
Finissage: Saturday, September 30, 8 pm – 12 am
Robert Davis, Michael Langlois und Rashid Johnson:
Look Into The Rays Of The New Solar Sun Rising
Markus Winter Gallery is proud to announce the exhibition and collaborative work of three American artists: Robert Davis and Michael Langlois with Rashid Johnson. The Chicago collaborative duo, Davis/Langlois, have invited Rashid Johnson of New York to participate in their most recent work, Look Into The Rays Of The New Solar Sun Rising.
The exhibition is an overwhelming sensory interplay between sculpture, painting and installation. Through references as disparate as Led Zeppelin, Max Klinger, Leroi Jones, Henry David Thoreau, and the failed utopian movement of the 60’s and 70’s, the artists have created a dynamic environment, oscillating between reality and the surreal, sanity and a psychedelic state of mind.
Vernissage: Sunday, October 1, 8 pm – 12 am
Sven-Ole Frahm
Control vs. Chance
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.”
“Paint and Cut and Paste”
Frahm’s abstract images develop through a process of limited control. While during the painting process (typically with only a few colors), the two-dimensional, reduced final image is conditionally controllable, the procedure makes itself independent through the following: Sven-Ole Frahm places a cut pattern over the image, along which he slits the canvas and reassembles the pieces anew. In this manner, unique tectonic pieces and linear moments develop. These produce a tension in combination with the painterly-abstract parts of the image, whose character is capable of reaching the sublime.
The synthesis of additive and subtractive elements, which Gregor Jansen described as “Paint and Cut and Paste,” generates a visual language full of dynamism, creating an outstanding quality in the final abstract painting.
