Katharina Gierlach and Konrad Winter: Two times painting
18. June - 29. August 2021
Focus on painting: We are presenting two new videos about Katharina Gierlach and Konrad Winter. Gierlach paints with oil on canvas, Winter with automotive paint on aluminium. They have in common that they both use photographs as models for their paintings. The video portraits contain footage from their studios and from the gallery and show the two artists at work. The films can be seen on the gallery's website as well as in the gallery. New works by both artists that relate to each other will be presented in the gallery.
Two new catalogues will be published and presented at this exhibition. Both the videos and the catalogues are funded by Stiftung Kunstfonds and Neustart Kultur.
Frankfurt artist Petra Scheibe Teplitz worked from July 2020 till April 2021 on her new four part work of art with a total size of 110 x 440 cm that will be the center piece of this exhibition. Out of target paper she has created a universe with planets, solar systems and orbits. A product that is produced for shooting practice is transformed seemingly into a cartography for celestial bodies. Mehr...
Both these new works and the exhibition carry the title "Out there". While the world was changing as a result of the pandemic, sometimes plunging into chaos, the celestial bodies, the earth and the sun continued to rotate "out there". They represent constants that determine our time and seasons. Nothing has changed in their course, only our perspective has shifted. Those constants also include the Scheibe Teplitz' artwork, which has remained true to itself in regards to materials used, approach and concept in the face of change.
Using and reinterpreting found materials such as everyday objects artistically is a concept that runs through the work of the Frankfurt artist. Lines and repetitions that complement each other to create an ornamental impression can be found not only in the individual works, but also in the interaction of several of her bodies of work. The artworks, created in series, function as individual pieces and are at the same time part of a whole.Using, seeing and reinterpreting found materials such as everyday objects artistically is a way of working that runs through the work of the Frankfurt artist.
