Dirk Skreber Exhibition
Petzel Gallery
This event has ended.
Friedrich Petzel Gallery presents the third solo exhibition in New York by the German artist Dirk Skreber. The show will consist of Skreber's new "pluck" paintings and two life-size sculptures of crashed cars.
Dirk Skreber's paintings and sculptures have consistently mined the catastrophic- either in its immediate aftermath (a flood, a burned-out camper), its sudden surge (car wheels and parts in mid-air) or its potentiality (aerial views of nuclear power plants in Iran). The transformative aspect of energy in its abrupt, violent release and subsequent unpredictable result has been a fascination for the artist and a fundamental, underlying and unifying motif in his work.
