Martina Klein, LehmbruckMuseum, Duisburg: 16 March – 19 August 2012
Slewe Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Nicht-Inhalt / Non Content by gallery artist Martina Klein at the LehmbruckMuseum in Duisburg from March 16 until August 19, 2012.
Especially for the LehmbruckMuseum, Duisburg German artist Martina Klein has made an installation with older corner paintings and newly made works. Klein, born in 1962 in Trier (DE), is known for her large monochrome canvases, which are most of the time not hanging on the wall in an usual way, but stand against the wall or stand free in space, like an object. According to Klein the composition is not made in the painting it self but occurs in the space, within the relation of other paintings. The various monochromes make a choreography of color planes which defines the space and gives it character.
Klein builts up her painting with several layers of self made recepies of paint. Adding more pigments to the oil, give the painting a radiant effect. Her specific use of colors and the way of painting gives her work an extra quality. Recently she cuts the canvases loose of the stretchers, so that they hang partly free form their support.
Klein lives and works in Düsseldorf. Her first solo exhibition had been at Konrad Fischer Galerie in Düsseldorf. She also exhibits regularly at Galerie Tschudi in Glarus (CH), Arnaud Lefebvre in Paris (FR) and at Slewe Gallery in Amsterdam. In 2004 she had a solo exhibition at the Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Enschede. In 2009 she had an exhibition at Kunstraum Alexander Buerkle in Freiburg. Her work has been collected ineternationally by both private and public institutions.
