The show features works on paper: rarely shown black-and-white charcoal drawings from the 1980s are presented alongside new colored acrylic works, which, due to their thick application of color, are characterized as paintings by the artist. Together, both bodies of works highlight Schulze’s playful and experimental way of creating illusionistic, ambiguous pictorial spaces – parables of the supposedly familiar and the uncannily bizarre – and demonstrate the artist’s creative, compositional process, as many of the black-and- white drawings were later realized as paintings.
Concurrent with the exhibition at the gallery, Andreas Schulze’s work is on view in a solo exhibition at The Perimeter. Traveling from Kunsthalle Nürnberg to London, On Stage transforms The Perimeter into a fantastical set for Schulze's distinctive painterly worlds.
