The exhibition brings together works by four artists of different generations, who developed their practices in connection to a relatively heterogeneous notion of abstraction. All artists dedicate themselves with consistency and discipline to the exploration of abstraction as both a formal and a referential idea. In doing so they form conceptually different and, in some cases, radical approaches that demonstrate the diversity of the geometric idiom.
An important point of reference is the repetition of the color blue. In Gardar Eide Einarsson’s painting “The LAPD and the Battle to Redeem American Policing”, the seemingly narrow perceptual framework, however, reveals itself as one of extraordinary conceptual complexity. The conceptual approach is the pivotal point in Einarsson’s practice. The literal declaration conveys an abstract set of rules that resonate well with the tradition of new artistic departures.
