  • NEW WORLDS – Ruf der Erde

  • Over the course of the 20th century, artists radically distanced themselves from an understanding of painting as a window on the world, replacing the painter’s eye-level perspective with views below the horizon. Jackson Pollock laid his canvases on the floor. Dirt, sand, and shapeless organic abstraction started to find their way into many artists’ pictorial imagery and was, in many cases, amongst other things, not least a response to the cataclysmic world wars of the 20th century, which razed everything to the ground. The marginal, repressed, misshapen and undefinable now came to represent the focus of people’s attention. The works in this gallery all take our relationships with the Earth as their subject matter, whilst simultaneously playing with their metaphorical significance.
