Maler
Thanks to dynamic, expressive brushstrokes of electrifying colour (here, especially the shades of red), Middendorf turned rock music into a visual experience. Similar dynamism and tension in the depiction of the motif, this time of the painter in front of the easel, characterises the drawing entitled Maler (translated as Painter) rendered in pencil and his favourite red. It shows an ascetic […]

Simon Wachsmuth is interested in the materialisation of memory: he engages in cultural (re)constructions of history and questions the relationship between material traces, museum representations, and the forms of their use in the present. He also focuses on the migration of signs and body language (speech) as an expression of culture.

The linear composition entitled Obieg [Circulation], shown at the exhibition, is a good example. This work gives the impression of an architectural drawing or diagram, but it depicts the architecture of the […]
Nose Job
As far as the latter artist and logician is concerned, Buschmann was particularly fond of his scenes depicting balls and social events through many schematically rendered figures. The painter skilfully distilled from them, among other things, a large linear figure of a dancer, captured in a sweeping movement against an empty background. The artist’s painting shown at the Wonderful Line exhibition, entitled […]
Revelation of Powers XIII (2022)
Iza Tarasewicz uses raw materials and rural production systems to create her installations. Although they are not free of vertical elements, they always develop in a horizontal order as ‘an expression of distrust of the controlling eye’ (Lisok). In them, Tarasewicz weaves technical tools and materials with organic substances, incorporating technology into a dialogue with nature. In Tarasewicz’s world, everything gives the […]
