THOMAS SCHEIBITZ
An exhibition by German artist Thomas Scheibitz includes new paintings, sculptures and works on paper. His paintings are large in scale; the geometric shapes, organic masses and flat colourful components create distorted spatial illusions.
Filled with images collected both from personal memory and the media: illustrations, architecture, movies, television, magazines and comics, he breaks them down until colour and abstraction take over from representation.
Scheibitz offers a futuristic vision of a fast-paced consumer society, where nature and technology merge, and realism is replaced by pop design. His painted abstract sculptures also draw inspiration from everyday graphic design and popular culture.
Scheibitz has selected works specifically for the Camden Arts Centre space. The exhibition and publication have been organised in collaboration with IMMA, Dublin.
