Exhibition at Galerie Renate Bender, Munich
June 21 to August 3, 2024     

Our new exhibition “In Good Shape” presents the works of 10 contemporary artists. With their “shaped” canvases and metal objects, their work goes beyond traditional formats and question viewers’ expectations of painting and sculpture. The artists focus on the specific characteristics of the materials: their tension, materiality and texture. They call into question our visual experience and expectations when, for example, a seemingly flat object turns out to be convex, a static sculpture begins to move in a gentle breeze, or an object attached to a wall suddenly comes alive through the action of an electronic device. Some works vacillate between painting and sculpture, extending unexpectedly around the corner or protruding into the room. Steel pillars give way as air is literally extracted from them; another object appears to be strapped together, caught in tense suspension. Massive steel ropes seem to have been wound playfully into knots. The art exhibited here astounds and captivates the viewer, and leaves a lasting impression!
