James Welling (*1951) legt seit 35 Jahren Werkgruppe um Werkgruppe mit sehr schöner und zugleich herausfordernder Fotografie vor. Er agiert im vielfältigen, "zwiespältigen" Feld zwischen Malerei, Skulptur und traditioneller Fotografie. Seit Mitte der 1970er Jahre hat er einen Fächer von Fragestellungen und Feldern aufgeworfen: Er spielt mit der Spannung zwischen Realismus und Transparenz, Abstraktion und Repräsentation, dem Optischen und dem Beschreibenden, dem persönlichen und dem kulturellen Gedächtnis, und natürlich auch mit der physikalischen und chemischen Natur der Fotografie. Sein Infragestellen von Gegebenem, die Zweifel und die Lust, das Vergangene und das Bestehende mit neuen künstlerisch-fotografischen Behauptungen herauszufordern, wirken sich direkt und aufregend auf sein Werk aus.
In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Cincinnati Art Museum.
James Welling (*1951) is an artist whose work occupies the grey areas between painting, sculpture, and traditional photography. For over 40 years his work has addressed the theme of representation and abstraction in the visual image. By critics, artists, and collectors alike he is considered a central figure in international contemporary photography. In addition to presenting Welling’s documentary oriented work, which follows the tradition of classical artistic photography, as exemplified by the work of Paul Strand, the exhibition Autograph also includes his abstract photograms.
Organized in collaboration with Cincinnati Art Museum.

Galerie Stefan Röpke is pleased to present a solo-exhibition of new works by Max Neumann.
Max Neumann was born in Saarbrücken in 1949 and is currently living and working in Berlin. His works are in numerous public and private collections in Germany and worldwide, including the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the Museum Folkwang in Essen, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Oviedo / Spain, the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the Deutsche Bundestag Collection and the Deutsche Bank Collection.
Am Samstag, 7.12., 18 Uhr wird in der Galerie Wack in Anwesenheit des Künstlers die Ausstellung Werner Haypeter eröffnet. Gezeigt werden Arbeiten aus dem Zeitraum 1991 bis 2013, die die Entwicklung im Schaffen des bekannten Bonner Künstlers deutlich machen.
Bei aller Klarheit und Strenge, die Haypeters Papierarbeiten, ebenso seine Werke aus Kunststoff kennzeichnen, bleiben wesentliche Elemente bewusst verborgen, ja "rätselhaft" – aber doch vorstellbar. Umso stärker fühlt sich der Betrachter herausgefordert, selbst weiterzudenken und die Präsenz der Kunstwerke im Raum zu ergründen.
Zur Eröffnung der Ausstellung spricht Dr. Annette Reich vom Museum Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern, wo parallel bis 2.3.14 die Ausstellung "HAYPETER raum maß-geblich" gezeigt wird.
This is Marcus Jansen’s first Italian solo show. On display are 20 small- and large-scale canvases presenting not only Jansen’s latest works, some of which have been created especially for Milan, but also some not-so-recent works to give a more complete understanding of the US artist, who is new to the Italian public.
Discovered by Jerome A. Donson, who used to oversee travelling shows for MOMA New York, Jansen is now an established artist, defined by many as a pioneer of Expressionist urban landscape painting. His most prestigious acknowledgements include Best US Artist in 2011 and working with Absolut Vodka. His works also are on display at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA), Taiwan National Museum of Fine Arts and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC.
Jansen’s work is configured as an urban tale that unfolds amid mystery and restlessness. What emerges at first glance – a work with an intense surreal metropolitan atmosphere inhabited by both conscious and unconscious – is confirmed in the technique used by the artist, who deals with the creative act like a free flow issuing forth directly from the unconscious, without preparatory sketches. This technique allows him to recreate an original universe where vastly dissimilar figures amalgamate into one complex framework, in an expression of the deeply interconnected world we live in.
The exhibition 'Slow Talk' - the first individual show of this photographer in Spain - will be composed of twenty-eight images in which his camera captures serene and fragile moments in which the invisible presence of life is revealed.
The selection comprises pieces from six of his most representative series, where white is predominant. This is the case with Portraits of Time, created in 1998. In this series, Koo creates compositions that eliminate the spatial context and do not focus on particular objects but rather on the textures and sensations of a blank wall. "The works shown in this exhibition are the result of an accumulation of personal journeys through the careful observation of nature and myself", explains the artist. "The notable void and emptiness in the images deliver susceptibilities of the mind’s eye to viewers".
The exhibition will also include work from his series White and Pencil of Nature, which depict white walls and snow covered ground subtly marked by vegetation. The show, which will be open at Ivorypress until 25 January 2014, performs more recent works from the series Vessel; white porcelain objects captured by a large-format camera and long exposure times in order to reproduce their shape in a delicate and austere way.
Yusuke Komuta (*1986) folds and unfolds paper airplanes and stretches them across canvas, sourcing his pictorial composition from origami paper craft. The paintings reveal unexpected designs drawn from geometric patterns and emphasize each facet as a sensational prism of color. From a figurative handcraft to a flat sheet of paper, the work of Komuta reverses the process of folding and invites the viewer into a kaleidoscopic world of abstraction vivified with rhythmic patterns and pure colors.
Komuta’s tableau is composed of hardedge facets, which bring together the architecture of reflective light movements. Symmetrically paired segments of linear pattern structure the confounding disposition of triangular complexities. Intrigued by ‘brilliants,’ gemstones cut with numerous facets to attain maximum vibrancy; the artist assimilates these repetitious and hypnotic jewelry patterns with a pictorial surface. The resulting compositions draw an illustrative map for the interplay of light and shape.
The art of abstraction has long provided respective position in which to consider an emotive and spiritual space beyond representational configuration. Inspired by familiar handcraft of origami and turning it into an absent referent, Komuta materializes a field of harmony and geometrical equilibrium as a delightful contribution to the revival of abstraction.
Die fünfte Version von 'Sangallensia' widmet sich mit works an paper einer heterogenen Gruppe von Zeichnerinnen und Zeichnern mit Bezug zu St.Gallen. Gäste sind dabei willkommen. Das Thema Zeichnungen bleibt auch im 21. Jahrhundert vielschichtig und ist weder stilistisch noch thematisch leicht zu ordnen, was ohnehin nicht beabsichtigt wird. Funktion und Wertung der Zeichnung sind gegenüber der Malerei vielleicht doch differenzierter und Skizzen und Entwürfe gehören mit einer gewissen Zeitlosigkeit ohne Frage zum Kunstwerk.
Wir freuen uns. Sie und ihre Freunde in St.Gallen begrüssen zu dürfen.
'Sangallensia V' is the fifth version of the exhibition series by galerie | christian roellin, which features exclusively artists who demonstrate a close connection to St. Gallen.

The previous Sangallensia shows presented the following artists: Andreas Berde, Beni Bischof, Jean-Christophe De Gercq, Felix de la Concha, Alex Hanimann, Manon, Josef Felix Müller, Vera Ida Müller, Roman Signer, Francisco Sierra and Bernard Tagwerker.
We look forward to welcoming you and your friends in St.Gallen.
'Evidence' – this term is a central aspect of the artistic work of Taryn Simon. From diverse angles the American photographer explores the evidential value of photography, its factual power to transform assertions into reality.
The young photographer became internationally known in the mid-1990s with her work Innocents, a series of staged portraits of persons unjustly convicted (often social outcasts) in the United States. This view of things was followed up by the images that went to make up An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar: In each we see a certain constellation of things from the most disparate social areas such as science or religion, which act to contradict the American myth of liberty and equal rights.
What Taryn Simon’s works all have in common is the fascinating method the photographer employs to illuminate the „Dark Side of Life”, to make visible things previously unseen and to expand the dimension behind the visible using text. As such she represents one of the most important positions of an expanded concept of documentary photographic work.
The Olbricht Collection (Essen) possesses an extraordinary set of works from this young oeuvre. A selection of them will be on view from 9 November in the Section "Post-War and Contemporary Art".
