until 19.10. | #4395ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tammen shows from 06. September 2024 Sculpture and painting by the artists Dietmar Brixy and Johannes Hepp.
In an exciting interplay of dialogue between his paintings and the exciting studio property in the old pumping station in Mannheim-Neckarau, the artist Dietmar Brixy repeatedly creates cyclical series of new works. In addition to the new exhibition in the TAMMEN GALERIE, which will show a cross-section of various series, Brixy is particularly present nationally and internationally this summer. Most prominently with his large exhibition in the Biblioteca Natioanale Marciana directly on St Mark’s Square in Venice, parallel to this year’s Bieenale.
Johannes Hepp, „Akt in Wärmflasche“, 2023, Lindenholz, bemalt, Wärmflasche, 9 x 14 x 24 cm
People are always at the centre of Johannes Hepp’s sculptures. Sometimes large, often small, his figures stand in found objects or movable constructions, on wall plinths or free-standing in the room. Sometimes a built-in mechanism provides surprising and humorous moments. Clothes fall off or a sausage swinging back and forth attracts attention in such a way that a bust can’t help but stare after it. However, the figures are also touching because of their delicate faces and intimate expressions. Most of the sculptures are made of lime wood and painted with delicate watercolours. Johannes Hepp was born in 1986 in Werneck near Schweinfurt and lives with his family in Freiburg im Breisgau.
