What they have in common is a former workspace in Cologne they have shared.
Six artists from three countries. Germany, France and India. Now an exhibition brought Gaby Ludwig, Kerstin Herrmann, Peer Boehm, Helmut Brandt, Olivier Graine and Niteen Gupte back together.
They all show a round up of what they have produced in the last ten years. From oil paintings to sculptures. Handwritten art to objects.
The transatlantic diablog was on location at Museum Zündorfer Wehrturm to ask artist Helmut Brandt about working in a former tool factory. “It was a place full of life,” he says. At least one child may habe been born there, too.
But “it was a shared workspace, not a shared apartment,” Gaby Ludwig adds.
Here’s our view on the exhibition:
“An old friend” as the title says: Kerstin Herrmanns oil painting.
A sculpture by Olivier Graine.
Two drawings called “Flächengedichte” by Indian artist Niteen Gupte.
Painting by Gaby Ludwig.
Handwritten art to document how his hand writing changes over the years: a work by Helmut Brandt.
Influenced by black and white photos: two paintings by Peer Boehm.
She had the idea to bring the six artists together in one exhibition: artist Gaby Ludwig.
