Boulevard. Corresponding to the real boulevard as a place of social interconnections and entanglement, the exhibition accommodates a cosmos of social prototypes in a telling display.
We are pleased to announce the fifth solo exhibition /Boulevard/ by the
Leipzig artist Sebastian Gögel of his most recent mid- and large-format
paintings.
Corresponding to the real boulevard as a place of social
interconnections and entanglement, Gögel's 'Boulevard' accommodates a
cosmos of social prototypes in a telling display. Stylized portraits
make their appearance next to abstract figurations. Radical attitudes
and hierarchies are claimed /and/ abandoned in his work. With hazardous
intent, grotesquely morbid grimaces are united with blithely humorous
elegance in a circus of crumbling beauty made up of urban facades.
Welcome!
Sebastian Gögel, born in
Sonneberg, Thuringia, Germany, in 1978, lives and works in Leipzig. From
1997 to 2002, he studied painting/graphic arts at the Academy of Visual
Arts Leipzig. From 2002 to 2005, he pursued his post-graduate studies
with Prof. Sighard Gille.
