until 31.07. | #3884ARTatBerlin | Galerie aKonzept & Raphaël Levy shows from 21. April 2023 the exhibition “Schwebend – Waving” of the artist Donald Sultan.
We are in 1986, the year that Halley’s comet passed. Margaret Thatcher and François Mitterrand announced the construction of the Channel Tunnel, while Arnold Schwarzenegger chose to marry Maria Shriver the same day as the disaster of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Gorbachev and Reagan meet in Reykjavík.
The 1980s saw a return to figuration. Strengthened by the metamorphosis of the formal and conceptual language developed by abstract art, some artists go back to painting in a figurative way, while others, such as Donald Sultan, chose to develop an artistic position in-between, that opened up a space for questioning the history of art, the media and their techniques, the representations and the images produced by their time. He thus justifies his exploration of an emblematic genre of European Art History: “Here we are in 1986: I think doing still life is pretty funny and exhilarating! ”
