Sabine Moritz : Paintings and Drawings

22 Nov 2018-4 Jan 2019

Overview

The artist will debut a new series of large abstract oil paintings, accompanied by new figurative works on canvas and on paper. Moritz’s first abstract work was exhibited at the gallery in 2015 as a part of her exhibition, Harvest. It was closely related to her figurative painting, which employed photographs from post-war Soviet Union as source material. Continuing from this trajectory, Moritz’s explorations into abstraction grew through the development of her use of colour and the exaggeration of her brushstrokes, eventually progressing into this autonomous new series. These new large abstract paintings are intense compositions of dynamic impasto brushstrokes. Their vivid colours and forms evoke a wide spectrum of visual and emotional associations.
