Paloma Varga Weisz Exhibition
Gladstone Gallery (Chelsea 24th Street)
This event has ended.
Gladstone Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by German artist Paloma Varga Weisz. Her sculptures and works on paper skirt the issues of history and influence, melting and mixing sources, periods, and figments into an indistinct pool of images. In taming what she calls “the rapid pictures that arise in one’s head,” Varga Weisz tends to the metamorphosis of the images that move from mind to hand, from watercolor to wood, producing hybrids that recall at once history, folklore, contemporary media, and works of art. As Guido de Werd noted in his catalogue to her exhibition at the Kurhaus Kleve, the charmingly surreal figures that populate her work seem “like pictures belonging to an unknown fairytale.” In this manner, Varga Weisz sculpts an uncharted terrain, tracing the border of the familiar and the remarkable.
