Am nächsten Freitag ab 19 Uhr tagt der DESIGNERSTAMMTISCH in der Galerie. Parallel zur “Wundertüte” werden Arbeiten von Hendrik Dorgathen, Jamiri, Helge Jepsen, Frank Georg Lukas, Arndt Möller, Wolf Schily, Rainer Stock und Klaus Trommer zu sehen sein.
Der Designerstammtisch trifft sich nicht nur jeden Montag im De Prins, nein, er stellt nun erstmals auch gemeinsam in unserer Galerie aus. Allen beteiligten Künstlern gemein ist, dass sie Anfang der 90er Jahre bei Prof. Otto Näscher an der Folkwangschule in Essen studiert haben, und heute national und international für ihre Arbeit ausgezeichnet werden. Die Ausstellung knüpft an das Projekt “Gezeichnet, gepixelt, gedruckt” an, das 2010 in der Galerie vorgestellt wurde.

From 4 September the internationally active photographer Thomas Zika will be showing works entitled “Butterflies – Dem Admiral das Leben gerettet”. in our gallery. In contrast to the sober, objective depiction of butterflies in “Papillons” last exhibition, Zika now finds an opulent and very poetic pictorial language for the depiction of butterflies. In large-format and color-intensive prints, the viewer is confronted with an exuberant nature that literally swells out of the picture, thus counteracting the technical gesture of the medium of photography.

Von Mäuseträumen und Reisen ins Schneeland

Für ihre liebevoll gestalteten Kinderbücher erhielt die an der Folkwangschule in Essen ausgebildete Diplom-Designerin Gaby van Emmerich bereits zahlreiche Auszeichnungen. So wurde ihr für die 1998 erschienenen “Mäuseträume” der “Preis der Stadt Hasselt” (Belgien) sowie eine Auszeichnung des Art Directors Club Deutschland verliehen. Ein Verkaufsschlager ist eine ihrer jüngsten Schöpfungen: “Kölsch för et Ströppche” soll den ganz Kleinen einen spielerischen Zugang zur kölschen Mundart vermitteln. Vielen dürfte van Emmerichs humoristisch-fantasievolle Handschrift aus auflagenstarken Magazinen wie “Focus”, “Hörzu” oder “Financial Times Deutschland” vertraut sein, für die sie regelmäßig als Editorial Designerin arbeitet.
Vor ihrem Wechsel nach Essen, wo sie noch heute lebt und arbeitet, studierte die 1963 in Vlaardingen, in den Niederlanden, geborene Künstlerin zunächst an der École des Beaux Arts in Paris. Ausgewählte Grafiken aus van Emmerichs bekanntesten Kinderbüchern sind ab dem 24. Juli bei GAM | Galerie Obrist zu sehen.

Although he has given cinema successes such as “das Parfum” or “Krabat” a face, his name is usually only found in small print in the credits. Rainer Stock works for nationally and internationally renowned directors such as Roman Polanski, Tom Tykwer and Bully Herbig. As a storyboard draughtsman he designed the scene sequences and camera angles for the “Baader Meinhof complex” and “ghostwriter”. Rainer Stock lives and works as a freelance illustrator in Essen. From 24 July, the exhibition “Gezeichnet, gepixelt, gedruckt” will offer the rare opportunity to view his works detached from the cinematic context and to admire not only their artistic quality but also the imaginative power of their author.

Echt Ruhrpott!

Although their handwriting could not be more different, the Essen artists Jamiri, alias Jan-Michael Richter, and Helge Jepsen share not only a passion for drawing but also a love of the Ruhr region. A selection of her works can be seen from 24 July at GAM in the exhibition “Gezeichnet, gepixelt, gedruckt”.
Jamiri-Drive-In

Jamiri is one of the most popular cartoonists in Germany. In his picture stories he ironically reflects on the small pitfalls of everyday life or the relationship to his wife Beate. From time to time the Lord himself takes a seat in his car to philosophize with him about life.
jepsen
Helge Jepsen, who was born in Flensburg, also prefers the Ruhr flair to the hip media metropolises of Germany. The successful communication designer works for big magazines like Stern, Playboy or Wirtschaftswoche. Jepsen’s speciality is playing with fictitious worlds of goods whose aesthetics are reminiscent of American advertising posters from the 1950s.

The works of Katrin Assmann and Christian Schellewald, who recently arrived at GAM, have come a long way. . The Essen-born live today in California, near Hollywood. Both attended Prof. Otto Näscher’s drawing class at the Essen Folkwang School.

The trained illustrator Christian Schellewald is Art Director of the animation studio Dreamworks in Los Angeles. He has contributed to cartoon successes such as “Kung Fu Panda”; (2008), “Shrek 2”; (2004) or “The Prince of Egypt”; (1998). Schellewald will be represented in the exhibition “Gezeichnet, gepixelt, gedruckt”; with works from his “Sketchbook from California”; (Design Studio Press, 2006), which captures impressions of Californian life in atmospheric drawings. His wife Katrin Assmann, who worked for the German edition of the "Financial Times”; for many years, also deals with her adopted country in her pictures. Often the artist couple also work together: Schellewald’s drawing contours are given space and atmosphere by the colouring of his wife.

As part of the exhibition “Gezeichnet, gepixelt, gedruckt”, GAM will be showing works by the award-winning artist Martin Baltscheit from 24 July 2010. With his illustrations for the new translation of Rudyard Kipling’s “Jungle Books”, Baltscheit has succeeded in creating a true masterpiece. The review of ZEIT particularly emphasized the “sensually wild” quality of his pictures, which, as a long overdue replacement of the sweet Disney animated film, put the literary classic in the right light again. The presentation of the original preparatory drawings provides interesting insights into the practice of illustration art.

Ab dem 24. Juli 2010 zeigen wir unter dem Titel “Gezeichnet, gepixelt, gedruckt” eine Werkauswahl von Zeichnern und Illustratoren, die sich national und international erfolgreich mit ihrer Zeichenkunst behaupten.
Katrin Assmann, Martin Baltscheit, Gaby van Emmerich, Jamiri (Jan-Michael Richter), Helge Jepsen, Christian Schellewald und Rainer Stock sind in unterschiedlichsten Sparten der angewandten Grafik tätig. Ihre Karrieren haben einen gemeinsamen Ursprung: Sie alle haben Ende der 1980er, Anfang der 1990er Jahre zeichnerische Gestaltung an der Essener Folkwangschule bei Prof. Otto Näscher studiert. Erstmals präsentieren sie nun ihre Arbeiten gemeinsam im Rahmen einer Galerie-Ausstellung.
Ob satirische Cartoons, Buchillustrationen oder Szenenentwürfe für Filmproduktionen: Die Werkauswahl macht das vielfältige Spektrum der angewandten Grafik sowie die hohe künstlerische Qualität der an der Folkwangschule ausgebildeten Zeichner deutlich. Zu sehen sind u. a. Martin Baltscheits Illustrationen zu Rudyard Kiplings “Die Dschungelbücher”, die von der Stiftung Buchkunst ausgezeichnet wurden, oder Rainer Stocks düster-opulente Szenarien für die oskarnominierte Verfilmung des Romans “Das Parfum” von Patrick Süskind.
