#Repost @galeriemichaeljanssen ・・・ Save the date! Galerie Michael Janssen is pleased to present “We’re all like Mirrors,” a solo exhibition by Till Gerhard. Consisting of a series of recent paintings, all produced within the last year, the exhibition will be the artist’s fourth solo showing at the gallery that will take place during gallery weekend and will be the last exhibition before the gallery relocates to its new space in Berlin. Till Gerhard We’re all like Mirrors 12 — 26 September 2020 Opening: Friday 11 September 2020, 5—9 pm In the exhibition, Gerhard presents paintings in the style now characteristic of his oeuvre that combines pop, quintessential images with dream scenes of figures awash in nature. These oil and acrylic paintings blur media representations with fantasy worlds, worlds that do not so much depart from the real but are remembered pasts, significant recollections whose edges have begun to speckle under time’s duress. Such is the case with the work Pied Piper, a painting named after the folk tale of the same name. Gerhard has depicted four children transfixed. They are fixed on a point, a horizon perhaps, that lies in front of them – a place in the canvas that was brushed away. What we can read instead is the children’s expressions of awe, reminding the viewer that childhood is always folded into another reality, one which doesn’t have clear navigable coordinates, but must be decoded and thus, altered. Resonating this style, another painting titled Filz shows a figure in mid stride, walking away from a green forest made of wide brushstrokes of dark green and magenta. In the place of a face, there is just ghostly sinews.
