Description |
Berlin-based painter Adrian Ghenie chiefly uses only a palette knife and stencils to create representations of historical figures or famous artworks, iconic images which are depicted in an atmosphere and setting reminiscent of film stills. The Romanian artist’s personal style, which tends towards the collage in more recent works, thus blends reality with fiction in an explosion of smeared colours and seemingly decomposed forms, presented in this catalogue of about 30 recent works shown at CAC Málaga. This is the first occasion that work by Ghenie has been exhibited in Spain. With a critical essay by Francisco Calvo Serraller and numerous reproductions of works. |
