The works exhibited were created during their stay in the artist residency LIA. Being all painters, the artists explore in different ways their experience in Leipzig and in Germany. Elisabeth Glaessner produces works based on invented stories that reflect on her experiences and creates worlds where both the landscape and the figure set an uncanny mood and communicate an ever-present hidden violence. Noelle Timmons`work deals with illumination. Narratives depict people’s states of physical luminosity to bring awareness to their mental disengagement. Robert Fundis is interested in the role of contemporary figurative painting with all its multiple possibilities of techniques, materials and representational forms. He treats the canvas like a sculptor and creates nuances and textures which are actually not inherent in painting. Brian Dangs paintings reflect on the food industry as a whole, instead of making art for consumption, he aims to produce art for thought. Marin de Jong´s recent work focuses also on moments in life in which people consume without awareness. The Opening is on Friday, 27th of July at 7pm. We would be delighted to welcome you. We thank LIA main partner BMW, New York Academy of Art, the Department of Cultural Affairs Leipzig and American Embassy Leipzig for their kind support.
