The Achtzig-Galerie-Berlin presented a purely digital group exhibition with intercultural guest artists in the field of contemporary art.
The modern art gallery of the gallerist Diana Achtzig showcased a digital group exhibition with exciting guest artists from 08.10.20 to 08.11.20 under the title "Digital Art Exhibition with Modern Contemporary Painting." The following guest artists were exhibited: Schuck, Sommer, Kamprad, Justies, and Steinmetz (sculpture).
The trained gallery owner Diana Achtzig had shifted her regular analog gallery exhibitions, press appointments, and art collector meetings to a digital presentation format to comply with the legal requirements regarding Corona regulations. She began with her first real art gallery in 1990 in Amsterdam. Furthermore, since that time, she has been able to plan and implement interdisciplinary and intercultural art projects with artists. Since 01.04.2020, Diana Achtzig has held a voluntary position as the gallery owner of the Hochhaus Galerie of the housing company Degewo at Raoul-Wallenberg-Straße 42 in Berlin.
The passionate screen prints by the French artist Alexandre Schuck
The repetitive languages of forms in nature depict animals, human body parts, and eroticism in contemporary art. The overall image captures attention. Only when you look closer do you recognize the details. However, each viewer sees something different; at first, it is a kind of personality test. For example, a male viewer first notices the eroticism. Some viewers are delighted by a butterfly in the same image. In this contemporary art, there is great room for interpretation; is it a tiger or an owl?
"I want to provoke so that these images remain in people's minds, make them think, move them," says the French artist Alexandre Schuck.
The artist from France first paints the body parts, and thus new patterns emerge, which he recognizes through these new forms. This creates an impressive puzzle of forms from nature. Thus, an overall figure emerges, composed of various small forms, animals, or body parts. It is like a picture story that the viewer slowly penetrates.
The same themes repeat: aggressiveness, passion, pain, and desire - thereby evoking certain emotions in people.
The message is: be attentive, there is much that repeats in your surroundings. Forms, emotions, ways of thinking, behavior - you will recognize them when you open your eyes. To create a new impression of the works, the artist has screen prints made, inspired by his beautiful original works. In doing so, he selects fewer and completely different colors so that the motif gains a new color dimension. In the original works, the colors remain true to nature. In contrast, they are more striking and with greater contrasts in the screen prints. With this playful approach, the viewer gains a completely new impression of modern French painting.
The digitally presented modernity of contemporary painting and ceramic sculpture
The artist Sommer paints the ecological streams in the Venn (high moor) under the title: “Art about Water” on her bright and friendly paintings. In doing so, she advocates for climate change. The artist and trained make-up artist Kamprad paints abstract and expressionist paintings to captivate the viewers. The contemporary painter Justies coined the term “Wall-Streetart” with his acrylic paintings on canvas, which show exciting portraits. The ceramicist and sculptor Steinmetz impresses with wonderful and three-dimensional exhibits in this digital exhibition at the Achtzig Galerie Berlin in Prenzlauer Berg.
