🔔 Save the date! Sunday, January 30 at 3 pm, on the occasion of the K1 Rundgang 2022 and on our last exhibition day, Yevgeniya Safronova will be our guest in the gallery for an artist talk. Don‘t miss!

On the occasion of our ongoing group show #betweenthelines we introduce you today to sculptor Yevgeniya Safronova and show some of her exhibition works.
Yevgeniya Safronova, who lives and works in Duisburg, knows how to play with visual habits by creating figures that seem natural and artificial at the same time - they are reminiscent of familiar things and yet cannot be clearly assigned. The sculptor's forms and objects are invented, but are based on models from nature or man-made objects. Natural things like crystalline or honeycomb patterns can be found in her sculptures as well as knot- or loop-like structures. On the basis of her drawings, it is possible to understand how the sculptor develops her three-dimensional objects. Her wall objects and sculptures always have a distinctive line whose beginning and end cannot be discerned. As large-scale spatial objects and installations, they often merge with the spatial conditions. They blend completely into their surroundings and yet have an unusual and irritating effect.
In "between the lines," Yevgeniya Safronova presents crystalline forms as three-dimensional wall objects made of plastic and lacquer and complexly intertwined knot sculptures. Yevgeniya Safronova studied fine art at the Münster Academy of Art. She has been teaching as a professor of fine arts sculpture at HBK Essen since 2015. The Museum DKM in Duisburg shows her work from different groups of works in a separate room.

Axel Anklam created his profound and poetic works inspired by music and mathematics, landscape and nature. In their effect they are reminiscent of the traditional materials of sculpture. His craftsmanship was the basis for his artistic work, so unique and touching.

Axel Anklam's exhibition, which we also showed in the gallery in November on the occasion of Art Cologne, was entitled "Of Light and Colorful Shadows". We had hoped that Axel Anklam's light would continue to shine. He himself was not granted it, in his work he lives on.

And we, friends, colleagues and the galleries representing him lose a wonderful human being and great artist. His work and our memory let him remain among us.

My deepest condolences go to his family.

On the occasion of our ongoing group show #betweenthelines we introduce you today to Austrian painter Bertram Hasenauer and show some of his exhibition works.

Bertram Hasenauer (*1970 in Saalfelden, Austria) prefers to work in the classical genres of portrait and landscape painting. His painting is of old-masterly refinement and accuracy, while the choice of motif and image detail, their clarity and reduction to the fragmentary and excerpt-like, shows the contemporary aspect of his painterly abstraction. The portraits as well as his landscapes seem mystified and timeless. Bertram Hasenauer plays with the boundaries of classical painting as well as the visual habits of the viewer by confronting the eye with something concrete and at the same time raising questions through the strong decontextualization of the motifs and persons. In his paintings he elaborates volume and space, gating and surface with intense colors and subtle color gradients. In his painterly approach he is strongly influenced by his original artistic starting point as a sculptor.
Hasenauer studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and continued his studies at the UdK Berlin as well as London's Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. After several scholarships in Europe, he now lives and works in Berlin and has been exhibited widely in Europe and the USA. His works are or were shown in numerous museum collections, such as the Berlinische Galerie or the Museum der Moderne Salzburg.

On the occasion of our ongoing group show #betweenthelines we introduce you weekly to an artist with some of her/his exhibition works - today we start with collage artist Marion Eichmann.

Marion Eichmann finds her themes with playful openness. The collages of the Berlin artist move between contemporary painting, classical modernism and pop art. Characteristic of her collages are their three-dimensional multi-layeredness and the translation of sometimes complex motifs into the medium of paper cuts, so that they simultaneously reflect the fullness and reduction of a motif. Some of the everyday motifs trigger nostalgic memories of a pre-digitalized world. The floral still lifes and portraits also captivate the viewer's gaze with their complexity and the strong colors of the high-quality papers.
As a former master student at the Berlin Weißensee School of Art and a graduate of the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) in the field of fine arts, Eichmann has already received several awards, including the Münsterland Art Prize 2019, the Berlin Hyp Art Award 2017 and the Franz-Joseph- Spiegler Prize 2014. Eichmann's works have been presented in numerous national and international exhibitions in galleries and museums. Many of her works are in private and public collections, such as the collection of the German Bundestag.

Axel Anklam‘s work „LIFE“ is based on a visit to the Old Botanical Garden, where he, together with artist friend and colleague Thomas Henninger, recorded bird calls and transcribed them into a kind of „sound map“ - they first transferred the visualization of the bird sounds into a three-dimensional digital relief and Anklam then implented this in his wall relief „Life“ and also, together with Henninger, created „LICHTUNG“, with which they won the „Kunst am Bau“ competition in Hessen and which is now on display on the wall of the main staircase of the Marburg University Library.

„LIFE“ still on display at GALERIE ANJA KNOESS as part of the current exhibition AXEL ANKLAM - VON LICHT UND BUNTEN SCHATTEN - only until this Saturday, 27 November!
