Christian Ward, Balanced Rock
march 13 2010 -> april 24 2010
galerie@michelrein.com
The particularity of Christian's paintings originates from his intricate motifs and technique. The mist and moss, often blending into the landscape, are often dabbed on with a hard brush. Most remarkably, the colour graduation of rocks, stretches of water and cascades are prepared on his palette and completed in one unique brush stroke. Whereas the concentric tracks left behind by the hairs in the oil paint undoubtedly recalls the raking of Zen gardens, the technique resembles equally some of Bernard Frize's paintings and the Chinese precept of the unique brushstroke precluding any corrections. |

EVA NIELSEN, FEEDBACK
march 13 2010 -> april 30 2010
Anne Robinet

Un feedback aussi, comme l’annonce le titre de l’exposition dont le visuel de l’invitation offre à notre regard deux Passagers 2009-2010, prêts à quitter l’atelier pour les cimaises de la galerie. Avec d’autres tableaux, ils vont former, pour un temps, un paysage commun de lieux étonnants, apparemment vides de toute présence humaine. |

Emma Woffenden is an artist, Tord Boontje is a designer; together they discussed, collaborated and disagreed for 16 years. This exhibition explores this creative relationship; sometimes working in tandem, always distinct from each other. They share similarities in material, concept and an approach to process, but this exhibition shows that each artist is clearly expressing opposite view points, towards mutual subjects. |

Davide Balula, Le compas dans l’oeil
until tuesday march 23 2010
Contact presse
Davide Balula’s Compass In the Eye seems to evoke both a pupil’s mischief gone wrong as well as the artist’s ability to work without the measuring tool. Instead of geometric shapes and accurate proportions though, Balula compasses here literally the material traces of a Heraclitean reality: halfway between proto-physics and abstract expressionism, the artist establishes an assisted topography of chance where, based on pre-determined conventions and protocols, the artistic intention combines itself with the contingency of the world. |

The history of tea is directly linked to the history of the tea-cup becoming an aesthetic object. Ceramics from the twelfth to the twenty-first century – tea-cups from the MAK Collection from China, Korea, Japan as well as loans from private collections – demonstrate that diversity was discovered in the reduction of form to its essentials. This idea is taken up in the installation “ Door of Eternity” by Heinz Frank, which can be seen in the center of the room. |
