MARTIN ASSIG – SCHREIHALS
2011-11-28The Berlin artist shows five large-format and two small-sized works from 2010 and 2011. All paintings are made of encaustic and tempera on wood. Martin Assig’s pictures “are physically present and transpersonal. Something in these pictures seem extremely familiar, yet it has never been seen before. These pictures need no regional or time-bound artistic style-classification; they catch your eye and stay in mind”. Assig’s pictures consist of elements full of tradition and history, but in these pictures they appear in a state of innocence, like objects that are seen totally new, that are unknown. The viewer can revive the pictorial bodies of Martin Assig. So that they can be new, time and again.
