HERE AND NOW!

The Kunsthal Rotterdam is organising the first solo exhibition in the Netherlands by Austrian artist Mathias Kessler (1968). Kessler's work examines man's historical and current relationship with nature.

The works in the exhibition entitled ‘Here and Now!' are based on Kessler's own experiences from his childhood and his travels to areas of spectacular natural beauty all over the world such as Antarctica and South America. His work includes references to Western art history, such as transience in ‘vanitas' still life paintings, and 19th-century Romantic landscape painting. The Kunsthal is presenting several important installations from his oeuvre which, with the help of innovative techniques, address major themes such as economic interests and the way we use natural resources.
