Memories of the Digital Age --- John Hodany / Arnout Killian / Julia Münstermann

About

The exhibition consists of paintings by the artists Arnout Killian (NL), John Hodany (USA) and Julia Münstermann (D). The title questions how the digital age will be reviewed in the future. The artworks in the exhibition deal with the aesthetics of the digital but through their inherent tactile nature as paintings they also question its immateriality. Killian, Hodany and Münstermann are three painters, whose work converges in several ways, both in content and formally, in their way of dealing with abstraction through light and structure. Their paintings, each in their own way, meander on the border of abstraction and figuration. In Killian's paintings for example, light-diodes from screens or goblins refer to abstract painting. Münstermann turns cityscapes into abstract color spaces while Hodany's work is often at the border of the natural and the man made, connected by an underlying geometric pattern.
