White Cube

Inside the White Cube is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by German artist Martin Kobe. Kobe is a painter whose works depict dynamic architectural visions: impossible virtual spaces that while meticulously painted, also seem provisional and in the process of breaking down. Interior and exterior views are compressed using interlocking horizontal planes, sharp, vertiginous walls and ceilings inter-cut with balconies, picture windows and coulisses, leading the eye all around the canvas. Kobe's palette is vibrant but restricted, mostly consisting of deep reds, silver and acid green that enhance the emptiness in the work: an atmosphere of utopianism devoid of everyday realism.

Martin Kobe has been in group and solo exhibitions in Germany, UK and USA. He has recently exhibited at Museum für Bildende Künste, Leipzig and East International, Norwich.
