Marcel Gähler with Römerapotheke at Scope
Marcel Gähler untitled 2008 watercolor on paper 60" x 80.25" [installation view]
Marcel Gähler untitled 2003 oil on wood 8" x 10.25"
[installation view of six small oils]
Zurich's Römerapotheke showed these and other paintings and drawings by Marcel Gähler inside its camp at Scope. They were among the most beautiful and terrifying things I say among all the paintings I encountered that week.
This excellent gallery's own text includes the note:
His painting drives us towards the limits of our perception. It makes it disconcertingly clear that seeing nothing does not imply that nothing is there.Posted by james at April 13, 2008 6:31 PM
