CARSTEN FOCK
sendere a terra
9 May - 27 December 2015
Carsten Fock’s (*1968) main medium is painting, exploring its technical possibilities anew again and again. In doing so, he does not shy away from experiments, whereby the borders between abstract, gestural-expressive painting and figuration remain in a state of suspension. His works are always charged with content-related and self-reflective references and pose questions or raise problems. Carsten Fock also develops an individual pictorial language.
For his first solo exhibition in a museum, Carsten Fock has developed an installation on-site which transforms the rooms of the Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg in a visual interplay between exhibition object and exhibition architecture. In his installations, he questions and expands on classic forms of presentation, involves viewers in his colour-space composition, and in doing so perplexes customary ways of seeing. Concealed behind the appearance of spontaneity and gesture are sophisticated composition and an organized process. The artist leaves nothing to chance and the workflow ultimately comes to an end in an image architecture that is once again broken open by serial works.
Carsten Fock studied at the Kunsthochschule Kassel and the Städelschule Frankfurt am Main with Georg Herold and Per Kirkeby.
We would like to thank the Lüneburgische Landschaftsverband and the association jugend in der galerie e.V. for their generous support.
