schaltwerkkunst-ringe

Ivo Ringe, California, 2008 Oil, pigments on canvas, 54 x 66 cm May 8-23, 2009 Ivo Ringe creates a reductive, non-objective picture plane in his paintings, where the viewer’s sensory perception may directly unfold. His works are rich in concrete structure and movement. The artist applies numerous layers of brush strokes which form a rhizome-like, grid pattern against the nearly monochromatic or bicolor backgrounds. In this way, a multidirectional, continuous movement is created which [...]

The show was huge, astonishing, including nearly 200 works by 130+ artists from Europe, North America, and South America. Jesús [...]
