Christian Flamm

asprey jacques, London

He is primarily known for his paper cut-out silhouettes in which he depicts large format boldly coloured images, lone figures or groups of people, abstract forms and interiors. In his new body of work Flamm moves his focus away from the graphic imagery into a more ambiguous conceptual space. For his show the artist will paint the gallery dark gray and fill the air with a perfume, and a video will be shown which documents the artist releasing a white dove, an act performed at his recent exhibition in Berlin.


comunicato stampa

asprey jacques presents the first London solo show of Berlin artist Christian Flamm. Born in Stuttgart (1974), Flamm has appeared in two previous shows at asprey jacques, including "Hallucinating Love" in Summer 2001 and a group show of young German artists in Winter of 2002.

Flamm is primarily known for his paper cut-out silhouettes in which he depicts large format boldly coloured images - lone figures or groups of people, abstract forms and interiors. Placed in varying situations of love, work and political reaction, these scenarios, though familiar to us all, are presented by Flamm in such a detached manner that they carry with them an unnerving ambiguity.

In his new body of work Flamm moves his focus away from the graphic imagery into a more ambiguous conceptual space. For his show at asprey jacques the artist will paint the gallery dark gray and fill the air with a perfume, and a video will be shown which documents the artist releasing a white dove, an act performed at his recent exhibition in Berlin. This opulent Baroque-like atmosphere will conjoin with the paper cut-outs on the walls to create a vision of eccentricity; yet simultaneously it will act as an ode to pastoralism. Flamm uses this juxtaposition of images and ideas as a means of exploring the varying associations in society and its actions.

Christian Flamm has been featured in many recent exhibitions, including his second solo exhibition, "Vacation from Myself", at Galerie Neu in Berlin, and in "The German Open" at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg as well as "Come in" at the IFA in St. Petersburg.
