Painting Show - Part One : Helene Appel, Jānis Avotiņš, Adrian Ghenie, Toulu Hassani, Kour Pour, Florian Süssmayr

Part One of the Painting Show at Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle exhibits the works of six artists: Helene Appel (DE), Jānis Avotiņš (LT), Adrian Ghenie (RO), Toulu Hassani (IR), Kour Pour (GB), and Florian Süssmayr (DE). The works of Helene Appel, Toulu Hassani, and Kour Pour are illusionistic in their visual language and those of Appel and Hassani are characterized to a great extent by clarity and objectivity, whereas Adrian Ghenie’s works display a markedly gestural, expressive tendency. Jānis Avotiņš’s figural paintings are distinguished by their diffuse and reduced rendition and those of Florian Süssmayr by their photorealist technique as well as their subjects’ transformation in various carrier materials.
