SPACIOUS

The paintings and collages by Dutch artist and author Liesbeth Doornbosch focus on buildings, interiors and furniture and show an interpenetration of painting and architecture, from which she creates new abstract spatial constructions. Her compositions, some of which are large-format, present fragmented perspectives that create complex spaces in equally strict and expressive layers of color surfaces and lines. By incorporating architectural photographs, narrative moments always resonate: for the painter, the experience of spaces always evokes stories. Her depictions of spaces are therefore not fixed orders, but organically animated environments that conjure up a particular scenery. Doornbosch is interested in the character of a place and the atmosphere of a space in the field of tension between the inner and outer world. The artist lives and works in Arnhem.
The special ones for the respective location Installations by the artist duo Ariane Faller & Mateusz Budasz deliberately intervene in existing spatial structures and transform them into new experiential situations. Bold constructions made of wooden slats and boards, braced in the space like scaffolding and fixed with screw clamps, merge with colorful painting objects on packaging cardboard and pictorial bodies made of coarsely knitted wool, glass and photographs. The expansive ensembles are intended as temporary interventions in the seemingly familiar and orderly and deliberately contain moments of the provisional and experimental. Central to this is the subversive exploration of the boundaries between painting, drawing, sculpture and object. The radical installations cause the spaces to become unhinged, as it were; walk-in assemblages are created through which we move in amazement, sharpening our perception of the special structure of the space. The two artists live and work in Furtwangen.
