Kim Bartelt: Zwischen Tür und Angel

We are delighted to announce a new exhibition by German artist Kim Bartelt, opening in London on 21 May. Developing on from an earlier series based on iconic paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance, in her latest body of work, Bartelt applies her distinct, abstract geometric style to pared down, emotive scenes inspired by the annunciation. These works refer to the german proverb “Zwischen Tür und Angel”, a sense of something happening in a quick, spontaneous manner, often with someone on the threshold of moving on or passing by. That subtle sense of uncertainty, is both emphasised and defied by her deceptively simple language of rectangles and squares. The artist’s unique way to both reduce and accentuate the metaphysical potency so inherent in all her work.
