DIRK SALZ. Resin.
24 October – 14 November, 2015
Brush and canvas are not used in Dirk Salz’s paintings: with the aid of paint rollers and gravity he spreads resin on solid panels. The result are images that are a true viewing experience. They thematize the interplay of light, color and space and with that the possibilities and limits of our perception. By not showing anything connecting to the outside of the image they make the viewer focus on him-/herself. They give reason to contemplate and reflect on conditions and the potential of perception.

Jürgen Paas. BlinkyBlinky.
5 September – 17 October, 2015
The recollection of modern icons occupies contemporary artists everywhere. With his new series BlinkyBlinky Jürgen Paas reflects on the work of legendary Blinky Palermo, who himself is hardly classifiable, and who always had winking references to the history of art in his work.

The focus of our double exhibition is the dialogue between painting and sculpture: The pictures of Armin Hartenstein meet the plastic works of Martin Schwenk. The Dusseldorf based artists are comparable in their metaphorical view on landscape and nature. Their works are manifests of the unfinished, visualizing the process of its formation. With this exhibition the gallery enables entry to two very independent and outstanding positions in current art.

Marcela Böhm. City And People.
9 May to 13 June, 2015
German-Argentinian painter Marcela Böhm has become popular with her society and people scenes. With her individual style she characterized people of her direct surroundings in unconventional situations. Now she has turned her hand to the city theme, herself born in megacity Buenos Ayres. She does not show us panoramas in the literal sense of the word, since she blocks out the town’s landmarks, and chooses the backsides of the skylines as her subject, in contrast to the sky and the clouds. Hermetic, almost windowless facades with antennas and satelite dishes agglomerate sculpturally in front of the horizon. One will not believe that people live here, nothing individual like a balcony plant or a flower curtain would prove this.
But we also have the paintings with party scenes and people inside the urban interieur. Böhm is showing a patchwork of urban fragments, and the viewer can put together the pieces for his own image of city. In adaption of a verse by Jose Luis Borges one could say from the point of view of the artist: “The city in me is like a painting that I could not hold with brush strokes.“

Opening Reception 21 March, 7 p.m.
In our first solo exhibition of the young painter Simone Haack from Berlin we are showing a representative cross section of her recent work, with an emphasis on her most current pieces. The scholar of Karin Kneffel impresses the audience with her evermore challenging snapshots, often dealing with children and adolescents. The line between good and evil, and the oscillation from one to the other pole creates the unique tension and atmosphere of her work.

Der Düsseldorfer Künstler Armin Hartenstein zeigt in der Mutter Ey-Straße 5 die Installation MONTAN. Im Zentrum erhebt sich ein aus Flächen zusammengesetztes Raumgebilde. Die zur Schaufensterseite des Galerieraumes hin geöffnete Form ist einerseits eine koloristische Setzung, andererseits kann sie als eine Art Architektur oder Landschaftsformation verstanden werden. Wie Satelliten ziehen um diese zentrale Erhebung herum mehrere Bildobjekte. Kleine verdichtete kosmische Landschaften -auch diese malerisch und dinghaft gleichermassen.

26 May to 30 June, 2012
Following our recent Martin Schwenk exhibition, with Armin Hartenstein we present another highly topical sculptor position, despite the fact, that Hartenstein assesses himself as a painter. But this description falls too short: The large-format works take a look at a rock formation in a very sculpural way. The rock formation is separated from its environment, the outline of the work is identical to the shape of the rock formation, the picture carrier is three-dimensional in different directions. And even the manner of painting gives the illusion of three-dimensionality.
In his series “Mes Amis de Emmanuel Bove” he deforms small found fragments of plywood, cardboard, linoleum, plastic and other materials, breaks pieces off, adds others. At the same times he paints and draws landscapes onto the workpiece, which is accomplished in an open dialogue between painting and sculptoring. In this middle position Armin Hartenstein permanently questions the essentials of both art forms.

Our exhibition contains large-size reliefs, which seem to be pictorial models of fictional landscapes, and works from the small-sized series “Mes Amis de Emmanuel Bove”.
