The Power and The Glory - solo exhibition by Karin-Marie Wach

About

German artist Karin-Marie Wach will show work on the Bankside Power Station, now Tate Modern, in a solo exhibition The Power and The Glory at the Candid Arts Gallery, Islington, London. Her work is considered innovative and has been widely acclaimed. In this exhibition she works with the multiples of a photo of a mere detail from which she creates an abstract image. This constructed image, mounted on sprayed MDF board, explores through its formal layout and content the complexity of the ‘whole' that cannot be photographed. Images of machines appear to work; colours remind of age-old frescoes; pipes take on gothic forms linking the building to the great cathedrals of the western world; a puddle on a concrete gangway becomes an artwork on the floor, site-specific and testifying to the passing of time; pipes shape into the flowing river without which a power station cannot function
