Gathering is pleased to return to Zona Maco with a dynamic presentation that showcases the diversity of the gallery’s program. The booth features works spanning sculpture, oil painting, aluminium and charcoal from Stefan Brüggemann, Tamara K.E., Wynnie Mynerva and Tai Shani.
Stefan Brüggemann employs his characteristic minimalist aesthetic with a stark visual impact in his work, ISLAND PAINTING (SPEECHLESS VIEWS). Taking spray paint and alupanel as his chosen tools, the work maintains Brüggemann’s punk attitude, while still remaining rich with acerbic text-based social critique.
The booth also features recent works from Tamara K.E.’s series The End of the Fringe. K.E.’s return to charcoal signals her continually evolving practice and experimentation with mediums. The works of this series are drawn with charcoal, an idea that occurred to K.E. in the early 2000s through a trip to abandoned coal mines in North Rhine-Westphalia. The series reconciles the artist’s flair for realistic figuration with the new material and technique, as well as uncovering and developing fitting narratives for each work.
Wynnie Mynerva’s Casiopeia, a large-scale circular oil painting that featured in the artist’s first institutional solo show in Italy, Presagio at Fondazione Memmo. The work visualises a new mythological iconography that moves from the body - an expanded and deconstructed body - unfolding a new spiritual universe.
