Painting for the 29th season start
Painting is the oldest form of art in human history and is still strongly represented in Frankfurt's galleries today. To mark the start of the season, Galerie Bärbel Grässlin is presenting new works from the "Etcetera Series" by minimal art artist and Beuys student Imi Knoebel (*1940 in Dessau). Like some of the groups of works created in recent years, the pictures in this new series are painted with acrylic on solid aluminum panels. Mark Dickenson, whose Neue Alte Brücke gallery is taking part in the season opener for the first time, is also showing new photorealistic-abstract oil paintings by British artist Will Daniels.
Galerie Hübner & Hübner is presenting new, opposing trends in the paintings of Ulrich Diekmann and Xue Liu in a double exhibition under the questioning title "KI - künstlerische Intelligenz | Zeitgeist?". Another graduate of the Städelschule and master student of Tobias Rehberger can be seen at Kunsthandel Hagemeier with the "High Intensity Paintings" by Janus Hochgesand.
Luxurious design classics set in a deserted village idyll, studio views and self-portraits - the artists' gaze and signature style pay homage to the everyday. The #artiststowatch exhibition at Galerie Egenolff (E30) Gallery brings together the latest generation of contemporary artists from Alanus University in Alfter.
The Vietnamese-born artist Nguyen Xuan Huy reveals the mastery and thematic density of classical European painting at the Rothamel Gallery. He came to Germany at the age of seventeen, completed his A-levels and studied at the Burg Giebichenstein Art Academy in Halle and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux. His painting in "Hybris" is compositionally multi-layered and of narrative complexity.
Margarete Zahn at Kunstraum Bernusstraße has been working with the St. Andrew's cross and its potential for artistic representation for more than 25 years. The artist depicts this X-shape in a wide variety of creative variations - in different formats both as a three-dimensional object made of wood and as a two-dimensional painting on canvas or paper.
Galerie Bärbel Grässlin is showing the series of works "Ecetera" by Imi Knoebel at the start of the season.
