until 26.09. | #2810ARTatBerlin| Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung (> Room for Drawing) presents from 21st August 2020 the exhibition Spontaneous Paradise with works by the artists Astrid Köppe and Katrin Günter.
The wondrous Din A 4 drawings by Astrid Köppe look like pages from expedition diaries, flipped open, taken apart and soon spread out on the walls of the gallery in a game of puzzle. And they are, as we know, the product of the artist’s imagination. Naturally grown forms, reduced to their origins, are rhythmically reoccupied with narrow and broad strokes, with large and small dots, which are chosen to be slightly flowing or strong. With the keyboard of drawing – together with striking, mostly strong colour settings – she brings forth surprising new existences, one follows the other; over the years endless in their individual appearances on the said sheets. One becomes an observer of an artistic amoeba world of almost inexhaustible shapes, whose irritating, sometimes bizarre otherness often enough seems to be underlaid with a wink of the eye, thus inviting one to a voyage of discovery of its own kind.
