This event has ended.
JanKossen presents a solo show by German artist Dieter Balzer. The exhibition marks Balzer’s second in New York.
Balzers work are both colourful and playful, but have a geometric precion mirroring that of calculated engineering. Playing within the confines of two – and three-dimensionality and positive and negative space using materials such as wood and foil, his works presents the viewer a sculptural dialogue on space and form.
Balzer is inspired by various art historical movements, especially credited Constructivism and Minimalism, which is apparent in the forms of his works.
Dieter Balzer was born in Neuhofen/Pfalz, Germany in 1958 and attended the University of Heidelberg, College of Art in Chesterfield, England, and Statens Hogskole, in Bergen Norway. His work has been included in exhibitions throughout Germany and abroad, including at the Museum der Wahrnehmung in Graz, Austria, Wilhelm-Hack Museum, in Ludwigshafen, Germany and the Museum Ritter in Waldenbuch, Germany.
Dieter Balzer currently lives and works in Berlin.
