Raquel Maulwurf "Drawings from the Other Side"
Frederieke Taylor Gallery
This event has ended.
Raquel Maulwurf's debut solo exhibition in New York includes works on paper and mat board, as well as a wall drawing in the project room. Based on historical images of wars and catastrophes, the artist creates striking charcoal drawings of the remnants from these events. Drawing on thicker board allows the artist to brutalize the surface with sharp objects; depicting violence through violence by scratching, the artist is materializing destruction in both subject and process. Also on view will be her drawing, "Into the Trees", based on the battle of the Hürtgen Forest and titled after Hemingway's novel (which refers to this battle), "Across the River and Into the Trees". It will be drawn on four walls to surround the viewer and will portray the stillness of a ravaged landscape juxtaposed with the ghostly remains of one of the fiercest battles between U.S. and German soldiers on German ground during World War II.
