Solo show
Following his first exhibition at Klosterfelde Linienstrasse in October 2004, Berlin artist Jonas Lipps
(* 1979) is now showing 45 new works at Zimmerstrasse.
They are small format watercolours and drawings on different, partly faded, stained or damaged paper.
Some evolve from both found and own sketches and preparatory drawings or photographs, whereas the
former serve not in a conventional sense, but as triggers to a process during which the motif undergoes
pictorial scrutiny, interrogation and bending.
At times there is a complete disintegration following the reactive processes between moist pigment and
paper, at times the paper dissolves and at other times the colour.
Varying degrees of precision, of control, of chance, of the figurative and of his narrative insinuation form-
ulate in every picture an individual specific formal vocabulary.
Discernable motifs alternate between the mundane and the symbolically charged, like the handwritten
list of allocated tv stations or a playing card.
The representation of humans ranges from accurate tracings of photographic originals, like for instance
a chess player playing footsy with someone or a Renee-girl, to a caricature-like depiction of a nose
(‘nose-formation’) and to dollish doodles.
Various fetishistic elements recur in Lipps’ images: Fisherman’s folding-chairs, pizza bakers, the (rho-
mbig and sinuous) patterns of a Carlo Colucci sweater.
A catalogue with 26 colour images will be issued on the occasion of the exhibition.
