• Discover our next artist @tomanholt for our ongoning #homealone series. Meet him in our stories! . . Tom Anholt (b. 1987, United Kingdom) constructs compositions in which figuration slowly transforms into abstraction. Experimenting with techniques informed by multiple references including illuminated manuscripts, Anholt brings together subtly outlined figures layered on multi-colored backgrounds. Approaching the series as if he were a musician putting together an album, he creates vast variation in mood and subject matter, but ties the individual works together with a coherent style, recurring forms, and consistent mark making. . . #stayhealthy #stayathome #tomanholt #eigen_art @eigenart_lab @galerie_eigenart . .

  • Bosco Sodi (born 1970 in Mexico City) is known for his richly textured, vividly colored large-scale paintings. Sodi has discovered an emotive power within the essential crudeness of the materials that he uses to execute his paintings. Focusing on material exploration, the creative gesture, and the spiritual connection between the artist and his work, Sodi seeks to transcend conceptual barriers. Sodi leaves many of his paintings untitled, with the intention of removing any predisposition or connection beyond the work’s immediate existence. The work itself becomes a memory and a relic symbolic of the artist’s conversation with the raw material that brought the painting into creation. Sodi’s influences range from l’art informel, looking to artists such as Antoni Tàpies and Jean Dubuffet, to master colorists such as Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and the bright hues of his native heritage. . . #stayhealthy #homealone #stayathome #eigen_art #showmustgoon @eigenart_lab @galerie_eigenart @casawabi @studioboscosodi . .

  • Mosley's wonkily strange and untameable narratives and bit-part narratives emerge from profound art-historical depths – you can easily spot the influences of, say, Breughel, Picasso and Léger, for example – but they are so exuberantly flighty and fiercely anarchic in their fashioning and their outcomes that it also feels almost mistaken to pinion him to the near or distant past in any particular way. He paints with a kind of no holds barred lustiness, in bedazzled lashings and patchings of colour, in a gleeful fury of unreason. His paintings often have blithely tossed out fragments of story for us to chew or meditate upon. What is the relationship between a beard and a snake and a cactus, for example? There is never an answer, of course. There is only ever another question. .

  • Today @melorakuhn gives us an insight into her work during these days in her studio in New York, USA. Thank you for sharing it with us! Melora Kuhn’s works are a constant observation of people’s experiences with themselves and with society. Kuhn makes use of the pictorial language of mythologies and history, in particular the pictorial forms of 19th-century American art history, from which she isolates individual pictures and places them in a new context. Her interest thereby is in details that are forgotten or elided in the narrative, in order to take a firmly established and well-known story in another direction and to inscribe a new readability into the personal biographies of the protagonists in her pictures. To do this, she uses the background to hint at the persons’ state of mind or a contour drawing above the portrait to add a second narration. . . #stayhealthy #homealone #stayathome #eigen_art @eigenart_lab @galerie_eigenart #staytuned .

  • Yesterday, Titus Schade shared with us some insights of his studio life during this time. His works examine the nature of the picture and the pictorial space. In sceneries that suggest stage settings, Schade unfolds places that seem to be both models and theatrical situations, imagining a wide spectrum of very different architectures and props that invite the beholder looking at his canvases to explore a private universe. His works are not about reality; he avails himself of its movable pieces and rearranges them to create a self-contained world. Carefully controlled lighting reminiscent of baroque art illuminates the mostly architectural shapes and structures. . Stay tuned for our next artist @felixleonwestner in our #homealone series. Don't miss to check the account of @eigenart_lab later today. . . #stayhealthy #stayathome #eigen_art @titusschade . .

  • The artist Birgit Brenner who is momentarily in Rome, Italy for her scholarship at @villamassimo.de deals with the impacts of social decline, loneliness and the fear of aging from a socio-critical point of view. Taken from everyday-situations, the artist illustrates the societal fears that are quite familiar to everyone by setting up scenarios between couples or inner monologues of the protagonists. Her extensive installations are constructed of photography, carton, wood and texts. Whereby text and image are not illustrating themselves, but extend mutual the deliberately statement. #homealone #stayhealthy #stayathome #eigen_art #birgitbrenner . .

  • Yesterday we started our “HOME ALONE” series with the artist Uwe Kowski, who has shown us, what he is doing in times of social distancing and took us to his studio in Berlin. Uwe Kowski combines linear structures and planeness in his canvases and watercolors. In doing so the skilled sign writer, who studied painting and graphics at the Hochschule fuer Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig from 1984 through 1989, extends the lines driven by colour plains by text and writings. After a first impression of abundance and complexity, the seemingly accidental opulence appears as an intended composition scheme. Step by step the framework which links the detailed elements is becoming clear. Like a coordinate system it gives hold to the emblematic structures. Thus the searching eye is following a range of associations until it orientates itself in this system of lines, signs and consciously chosen colour fadings. .

  • Although our gallery spaces are closed for an indefinite period of time, it is important to us to stay in touch with you: not just to offer you the ongoing access to art, what, as Judy says, is an important part of our society; even more we wanted to combine this with the importance of solidarity in these days, demonstrated by staying at home and by helping each other through these rough times. This is why, under the title „HOME ALONE“, we are connecting you with our artists which are going to speak to you from their home, where they are also more or less „alone“, but still trying to think positive and keep working on their art. We are starting soon, so stay connected! We wishing all of you safety and health! . . . Obwohl unsere Galerieräume momentan für eine noch unbestimmte Zeit geschlossen sind, ist es uns natürlich wichtig, mit Euch in Kontakt zu bleiben. Nicht nur, um Euch weiterhin den Zugang zu Kunst zu ermöglichen, denn, wie Judy bereits sagte, ist sie ein wichtiger Teil unserer Gesellschaft; mehr noch möchten wir dies mit der Wichtigkeit von Solidarität untereinander verbinden, die in dieser Zeit besonders notwendig ist. Sei es, indem wir zuhause bleiben oder auch einander tatkräftig unterstützen. Aus diesem Grund haben wir uns eine Serie aus kleinen Videos mit dem Titel „HOME ALONE“ überlegt, in denen unsere Künstler*innen von ihrem Zuhause oder ihrem Atelier aus zu Euch sprechen und Euch zeigen, wie Sie die Tage „allein zuhause“ verbringen, wo sie weiter an ihrer Kunst arbeiten und dabei versuchen, weiterhin positiv zu bleiben. #homealone #stayathome #stayhealthy #eigen_art @galerie_eigenart @eigenart_lab
