Micromégas I

The abstract works of Bott, Eble, Gumpert, Hartung, Nay, Schultze, Thieler, Trier and Winter.

The forthcoming exhibition will be showing primarily large-format works: Fritz Winter, who juxtaposes microcosms and macrocosms analogously in the form of cells and planets; the exponents of Art Informel, above all Bernard Schultze, with his early painting “Vitalité”, his reliefs and his late oeuvre, the latter suggesting vast mountainous, celestial or cosmic spaces and evoking strange creatures of fantasy, giants that might well represent Micromégas and the Saturnian; Fred Thieler with a palette knife painting and cosmic formations; Francis Bott, whose compositions resemble bird’s eye views of urban conurbations and their surrounding landscapes; the Swiss abstractionist Theo Eble, whose abstract interpretation of intertwined branches borders on geometric abstraction, while sculptor Karl Hartung starts out from the human body, translating it into “vegetative” and “organic” forms, an outstanding example being his “Urgeäst” (Primaeval Branchwood) measuring almost two metres in length.
