Lea Schäfer – Floating
Location: EMDE GALLERY - MainzEmde Gallery is pleased to present Lea Schäfer's second solo exhibition entitled "Floating". The exhibition shows a selection of recent works, including both small-format collages on wood and larger formats on canvas.
Lea Schäfer's work is characterised by a continuous examination of the conditions of abstract painting, its possibilities, and limitations. While her earlier groups of works centred on the grid in all its manifestations, the new works suggest an expanded strategy: An ordered structure on which the painting unfolds remains the starting point, but, as the title "Floating" suggests, recedes into the background in favour of freely flowing colours, simultaneously controlled. The larger canvas formats in particular are characterised by a balanced interplay between the uncontrolled life of the paint and the artist's gestural intervention, which allows the "floating" layers of paint to unfold their finely nuanced as well as intensely powerful qualities..
