Peter Klare
Union Projects, London
Klare's work comprises painting, sculpture and photography. In combining and using a crossover of different media, his shows often have the character of installations recreating reality. But, instead of attempting to achieve visual illusion, he approaches reality from the emotional side. His work widens the gap between emotion and intellect where things do not necessarily look real, but feel real.
UNION PROJECTS is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition in London for
the German artist Peter Klare.
Klare's work comprises painting, sculpture and photography. In combining and
using a crossover of different media, his shows often have the character of
installations recreating reality. But, instead of attempting to achieve visual
illusion, he approaches reality from the emotional side. His work widens the
gap between emotion and intellect where things do not necessarily look real,
but feel real. Reality dis-assembles and its meaning falls apart, in order to
be re-assembled as an illusion, thereby asking the question of its meaning.
In the main room, you enter Klare's work through a set of saloon doors that
have been painted on canvas. Recent paintings of palm trees on aluminium and
polystyrene with a stripe of florescent colour running across the surface are
exhibited on the facing wall. These works containing romantic motifs and a
minimalist gesture address the earlier mentioned criteria, whilst referring to
Los Angeles where the artist held a residency.
In the lower gallery, a set of sculptural paintings referring to mainstream
furniture illustrate the boundaries of high art and low culture, of concept
and comfort.
Peter Klare lives and works in Berlin.
Recent solo exhibitions include Galeria Leyendeck, Santa de Cruz, Tenerife,
Galerie Loevenbruck, Paris and Black Dragon Society, Los Angeles. A catalogue
is published by Deitch Projects, New York.
