GRIMM is pleased to present a new solo exhibition by Volker Hüller (b. 1976 in Forchheim, DE).
The culture of systematic displacement lives in Hüller’s new body of work, a term once coined by Max Ernst to describe the fragmented logic of collage. Current society is hardly more apt to be described in such an abjuring pictorial rhetoric. The paintings in this exhibition are constructed like intricate jigsaw puzzles, bodies and other hints of figuration appear incongruously amid ceramic hands, arms and fingers. In the best of the German Expressionist tradition Hüller’s work emphasizes inner feelings and ideas above replicating reality, be they born from personal memory or collective myth.
Volker Hüller’s paintings and the new ceramic works on display were all conceived during the pandemic and the past year has caused a significant shift, for both artist and viewer, in the way we perceive and the change of pace by which we would normally go about our everyday environment.
To visit the exhibition, please book a timeslot on our website.
