One of the premier galleries of New Contemporary art, Los Angeles’ Corey Helford Gallery (CHG), is hosting the next major solo show from the award-winning, international renowned German artist duo Mark Landwehr and Sven Waschk [coarse], titled "Because I Wanted You To Know"
About
Marking coarse’s debut at CHG, the show will feature limited-edition original pieces (sculpted in resin, wood, and other mixed media, with their signature sharp lines, smooth curves, and extreme attention to detail) ‒ each meticulously handmade over hundreds of hours in the artists’ studio based in Frogtown, Los Angeles.
For over 20 years, the artist duo collectively known as coarse has been carving new paths in the tradition of sculptural storytelling. By exploring cultural motifs and sculpting with an architectural precision, the artists embrace their German heritage; but simultaneously they rebel against it, painting with intense colors and employing a sense of levity even when examining heavy themes. coarse takes the melancholy and visual simplicity inherent to German art and fuses it with a sophisticated sense of irreverence, resulting in multi-faceted sculptures and a distinctively unique aesthetic.
