Ausstellung Sophie Reinhold - Galerie Nordenhake

bis 01.06. | #3908ARTatBerlin | Galerie Nordenhake Berlin präsentiert ab 28. April 2023 die Ausstellung „Traüm Weiter“ der Künstlerin Sophie Reinhold.

Sophie Reinhold thematises the dichotomy between simulation and real life in her first solo exhibition with Galerie Nordenhake in Berlin. A series of new paintings made specifically for the show and executed on surfaces prepared with bitumen, ground marble and graphite powder, juxtaposes a site-specific installation for the gallery space. Comprised of four sculptures the installation disrupts the line of sight upon entering the gallery and constrains as well as widens the perspective of the paintings. Their imagery speaks to mythology, which is underlined by the sculptural quality that breaks with a satirical use of ubiquitous images. This allows to get a curious hold of the technical process in which the artist stretches jute over a panel, to then apply layers of marble or graphite powder at times dyed with pigments. The result is sanded down to a fetishist smoothness, of which parts are carved to create figurative reliefs. Bare textile revealed in the process irritates the seductive illusion of perfection. These works come together heterogeneously, which speaks to their very nature facilitating a humorous rethinking of representative strategies. Insisting on inconsistency almost as a form of protest makes way for a process of dissociation when viewing the work, which opens endless new possibilities instead of simulating pre-existing thoughts.

“The coated, fetishistic superficiality in the art of Sophie Reinhold engages a political agency built on a powerful sense of carnivalesque joy and hope.” Paolo Baggi Sophie Reinhold: don’t get used to it, in Conceptual Fine Arts, January 11, 2023
