ARDEN + WHITE GALLERY is pleased to announce Through The Veils, the debut U.S. exhibition for German-based, Franziska Reinbothe, alongside Australian artist, Marisa Purcell. This two-person exhibition encapsulates process art and minimalism through the use of fine layers in the artists' diverse mediums.
A dialogue of stillness and transformation emerges in the interplay of these artists' works. Purity of form meets the vitality of process, personified through color, inviting the viewer to navigate the delicate balance between stillness and movement.
Marisa Purcell’s pieces greet you with a pure, meditative quality. Her adherence to traditional minimalist aesthetics is evident in the precision of her forms and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. Each work invites a contemplative pause, a moment to appreciate the simplicity and the power of restraint. Purcell's work is a testament to the clarity of line and reduction, offering a serene counterpoint to the chaos of everyday life.
In contrast, Franziska Reinbothe’s creations, while also rooted in minimalist principles, pulse with a sense of dynamism and evolution. Reinbothe's works are alive with the traces of their own making, the textures and materials bearing witness to the artist’s hand and the passage of time in the making. The surfaces of her pieces reveal layers of intervention, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of control and construction. Through her integration of process and materiality, Reinbothe’s art speaks to the impermanence and fluidity of existence, providing a rich, tactile experience.
Together, Reinbothe and Purcell’s works create a harmonious yet dynamic conversation. The interplay of traditional minimalist aesthetics with the expressive potential of process and materials allows for contemplation and discovery.
