EXHIBITION SYNOPSIS
About Movements - Martin Klimas Solo ExhibitionThe OTHER GALLERY is pleased to announce the exhibition of photographs by German artist MARTIN KLIMAS – MOVEMENTS.
His first China solo show is a combination of 2 main series: ‘Kung Fu Warriors’ (2004-08) and the latest series‘Foulard’ (2011) due to their explicit energetic pursuit.
By dropping the Chinese made Kung Fu figurines, which crash on the ground, Martin Klimas catches the very moment of a powerful and unique burst, emphasizing their fierce character as "temporarysculpture”. Falling from a height of 3 meters, ceramic fighters smash, sliver and expose a rarely seen moment of a 7th millisecond. This dynamic and surprising glimpse exposes a play of dignity and beauty hidden in total destruction in his radical and elemental still lifes.
His latest series ‘Foulard’ is put in relation to the energetic warriors. High-quality silk scarves provide the thematic background with an ambivalent nature between two- and three-dimensionality.
Particularly focusing on the pictorial character of these fashion accessories, Martin Klimas interacts with minimalist geometric patterns on luminous silk.
The gentle and slender movements of the scarfs reveal a teasing play of colors and light tobewitch the eye.
