Noi Fuhrer - POLAR

About

The artist Noi Fuhrer, who was born in Tel Aviv and lives in Berlin, is showing her first exhibition POLAR at the Drawing Room – a group of mainly large-format charcoal drawings of haunting presence. They capture everyday scenes and strange fragments of moments that feed on different (dream) worlds or seem like the reverberations of a memory. The narrative content of the works contrasts excitingly with the reduction of the means of drawing.  Fuhrer’s drawings consist purely of hatchings, which she draws in variable line widths and superimpositions in one direction on the sheet. Despite the delicacy of the lines, her figures and forms are characterised by an astonishing plasticity as they emerge without contours from the white paper. As in photography, which the artist often uses as a starting point for her charcoal drawings, light and shadow, texture and blank space constitute the image, from which a magical effect seems to emanate, because it is capable of a space between memory and imagination. 

Noi Fuhrer studied at Goldsmiths College in London and from 2019 - 2021 in the class of Andreas Slominski  at the Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg.
