LAST WEEK Exhibition: Isabel AlbrechtThe exhibition "Isabel Albrecht" is on view until April 16, 2017 at the production and exhibition platform basis e.V. Isabel Albrecht’s works stand out in particular for their treatment of lines. The lines vary in number, thickness, and application in serial works that are grid-like and follow definite patterns. In making her pictures, the parameters the artist had pre-established were conveyed to the picture support in precise, repetitive procedures. Albrecht’s drawings display a profound engagement with systems, patterns, and repetition. Her treatment of color and line creates images with gradients of hue that lend the works a three-dimensional aspect. Simultaneously, the drawings seem to suggest that the sequences of adjacent lines could be potentially continued to infinity. The artist, who died in 2013, has worked in a studio at basis e.V. for several years. The production and exhibition platform will be showing a comprehensive overview of Isabel Albrecht’s earlier works through to her late oeuvre. |
