Matti Schulz
The Facts of Life
24.01.2015 – 20.03.2015

In his drawings and objects Matti Schulz comments on current affairs. In his mostly reduced ink drawings that are concentrating on the essential brute comical punch lines such as »Understanding homicide and doing it yourself« or »He has been turning sausage since the turnabout«. If colour enters the sheet, the works are often drawn denser and thus seem more narrative. Some ideas for images are triggered by media headlines; some drawings are being worked on for quite some time until the fitting sarcastic wording has been found and the bitter punch line has been put into a nutshell. A few objects complement the exhibition such as a cast in bronze »Tit tornado«, that is flanked by »Volcano eruption with tit lava«.

Caroline Günther
Welcome to the Gloss
24.01.2015 – 20.03.2015

In her artwork Caroline Günther moves at the cut surface between objective depiction and abstraction. Executed via fast moves partly, the focus of the gestural paintings is on plains and surfaces. Inspired by the study of Japanese wood cuts and her enthusiasm for the latter Caroline Günther creates rooms through intuitively put overlays and a specific interplay of shiny and matte image moments that do not consist of monochrome surfaces but of structures and blotches. In her new series of images the depicted objects seem weightlessly floating, remote from any scenery. Also here it is clear that Caroline Günther’s interest is the possibilities of painting and less the motifs themselves.
