RESPONSIVE PAINTING

Joanne Greenbaum, Arnold Helbling, Hanspeter Hofmann, Hanna Roeckle

Coinciding with the Zurich Art Weekend on 9, 10 and 11 June, Fabian & Claude Walter Galerie opens the exhibition Responsive Painting with works by Joanne Greenbaum (USA), Arnold Helbling (USA/CH), Hanspeter Hofmann (CH) and Hanna Roeckle (LIE).

In the gallery’s cabinet, early works by Gottfried Honegger (1917-2016, CH) and a major painting by Victor Vasarely (1906-1997, F) from 1968 will be on display.

The group exhibition Responsive Painting includes the most diverse positions that can be assigned to the concept of abstraction, non-objective and concrete art. In the context of this exhibition, the individual artworks are summarised and conveyed under the term “Responsive Painting” – a term usually used to describe paintings that contain interactive or technological elements. However, the term can also be used metaphorically to describe paintings that can evoke a strong emotional response in the viewer: Actio et Reactio!

The paintings and sculptures exhibited here do not stand on their own, but react to each other, creating a fascinating, transformative dynamic in the space. A dot becomes a line becomes a grid becomes a surface: basic elements of geometric forms, traces of technological achievements and expressive abstractions move rhythmically through the exhibition hand in hand, restrictive repetitions are alien to them. The colours, shapes and textures merge and interact with each other as the viewer immerses himself in the multi-layered compositions of the artworks – and allows himself to be carried away.
