MARK FRANCIS – ACOUSTIC OCEANS

Posted on 2024-05-20

Mark Francis has long made paintings driven by the revelatory insights of contemporary science. This new body of work responds to the speed and complexity of the information age, interpreting data and binary sequences as pulsating bands of colour that stimulate the eye. Vertical stripes in rich tones pulse into one another, creating a sense of movement and vibrational energy that expands outwards beyond the picture plane. Francis sees each hue and line in his paintings as information for the viewer to decode – abstract forms that take us on a subconscious journey of understanding through sensory experience.

MINORU NOMATA – CONTINUUM

Posted on 2024-05-13

Nomata’s paintings are influenced by the ambience of generative electronic music and the landscapes of retro-futuristic science fiction films and literature. Since the 1980s, the artist has structured his body of work through series, each completed over nearly two years,
beginning with his earliest series ‘Still’.
In his latest exhibition, which expands upon the ‘Continuum’ series first shown at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in 2023, he depicts immense hydrological formations, icebergs, frozen waterfalls and glaciers, interacting with manmade mechanical interventions.

JONGSUK YOON – YELLOW MAY

Posted on 2024-05-06

For this exhibition, two expansive, mural-sized paintings April Mai (2023) and August (2024) are presented in the Main Gallery. Featuring poetic silhouettes of mountainscapes, they reference the border between North and South Korea, as well as the artist’s own childhood memories. Across a vast and mesmerizing pictorial space, Yoon’s unique approach to painting is found in atmospheric layers of highly gestural and variously textured brushstrokes. The colors, a rich palette of bright yellows, soft fuchsias, and pale blues, are also references to speci!c memories, such as azalea blossom-covered mountains in the Korean springtime. The disembodied forms of color present this profoundly fraught geopolitical terrain as an anti-monumental, illusory reverie.

RAO FU – COLORS OF THE SOUL

Posted on 2024-04-22

Rao Fu’s paintings resemble a restless sea of color. On each canvas, a new, free monologue begins, driven by the flow of paint. Embedded within the color are deeply resonant references to tradition, evidencing the engagement of this Chinese-born artist, trained in classical Chinese landscape painting and calligraphy, with the art history of Dresden and Europe of the last four hundred years. Indeed, there is hardly a painter in East Germany who has studied German and European painting with such earnestness, marvelling at its diversity, boldness and beauty, appreciating it and appropriating it in his very own way.
