Today artist talk with Armin Scheid
Tonight at 6.30 Armin Scheid will answer questions about his pictures.
The Cologne artist studied at the University of Dortmund and the Düsseldorf Art Academy, and was assistant to Prof. Norbert Tadeusz for several years. Since 2003 he has co-developed the exhibition series “junge kunst” in Cologne. In his painting, Scheid is concerned with inventing a “new pictorial reality of his own, based on a motif that fascinates him, which concentrates entirely on working with pictorial means.”

Start der Art Moscow
Mit einem verkleinerten Feld von ca. 50 Galerien präsentiert sich derzeit die internationale Kunstszene in Moskau. Bei der Art Moscow zeigen Galerien aus 15 Ländern ihr Programm, wobei sicher die russischen Galerien bei weitem den größten Anteil stellen: Mit Aidan, Guelman, XL und Krokin sind denn auch die wichtigsten Moskauer Galerien dabei. Bei der Vernissage am gestrigen Abend war der Andrang wie in den Jahren zuvor unvermindert groß.
Die Stadt scheint nach der Krise gereinigt: Allerorten bewegen sich die Kräne wieder, die Sehenswürdigkeiten aufgeputzt, auf den Straßen prächtige Autos. Man munkelt, dass nun der allmächtige Bürgermeister Lushkov, der über viele Jahre Moskau nach eigenen Regeln beherrschte, abtreten muss: Zeit für Veränderung in einer Stadt, die sich sowieso jeden Tag neu erfindet.
Anbei ein paar Impressionen der Messe und der Stadt:
Vernissage Art Moscow

Soon again ART MOSCOW
As the only German gallery we again participate at ART MOSCOW this year. ART MOSCOW is the largest contemporary art fair in Eastern Europe. It was founded in 1995 and today is one of the major art events in Russia. (Sep. 22-26, 2010, Central House of Artists, Moscow)
Thomas Zika and Henri Cartier-Bresson
On Friday, September 3rd, from 7 p. m. we will give a preview of the autumn of 2010 in the gallery under the title *preview*.
We’re opening our new “Collector’s Lounge” with a real sensation: we’re showing 13 original photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson, including vintages and real rarities. There are portraits of Marilyn Monroe, de Gaulle and Jean Paul Sartre, two photos of the Berlin Wall, travel photos from India, Mexico, Russia, Spain, USA, as well as the famous photos of the Palais Royal and the Gare St. Lazare. Use the opportunity of the preview, because we take a part of the work in 10 days on the Art Moscow with us.
From Friday to October 2 Thomas Zika shows his new photo works from the series “Butterflies-Dem Admiral das Leben gerettet”. This will also be a preview of his solo exhibition in spring 2011.
The exhibition “Gezeichnet, gepixelt, gedruckt” mit sieben international tätigen Künstlern aus der Illustrations- und Zeichenkunst is extended until 25 September 2010. .
Thomas Zika shows Butterflies
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.

Film art from Essen
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 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.
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.

A touch of Hollywood. . .
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.

Martin Baltscheit at GAM
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.
