With over 1000 individual works, the exhibition "Collecting Sparks" presents impressive room installations by the renowned New York artist Cordy Ryman in the spacious gallery halls of Walter Storms Galerie.
About
Cordy Ryman (born 1971, New York) is known for his experimental art that blurs the boundaries between sculpture and painting. His works are characterized by a playful and dynamic quality. Ryman combines different materials, found objects, and colors.
The exhibition provides an overview of Cordy Ryman's characteristic small-scale and spatial wall works. By using everyday materials, especially wood as the support for his images, Ryman imparts each work with individual depth and significance. The diverse texture of each material piece enhances the uniqueness of his artworks. "I enjoy working with materials that bring their own history and can change and reinvent themselves," explains Ryman.
The main wall of the exhibition, called "Constellation," is the central element of the exhibition. All installations are designed to relate to the size of the space and form individual experiences from flexible communities of "individuals." Each group of works constitutes an independent colony. The different components come together to form a single work, creating a new experience for the viewer.
The title of the exhibition, "Collecting Sparks," refers to the artist's experiences because for Ryman, his artworks are like sparks of vitality that explode in every creative process.
