CHART

This year at CHART, Gether Contemporary will showcase an installation that proposes an absurd twist on the cult of home improvement and DIY aesthetics. The installation will include works from a group of artists on top of a cartoon-like decorative surface with bold patterns and vibrant colours, mimicking the decor of a living room. A presentation of artworks presented by the gallery artists will be mounted on top of the wall paper. The presentation will deviate from the traditional art fair booth, putting a new spin to the classic format.

Richard Woods (UK)

Bold, colourful and witty, Richard Woods’ work is instantly identifiable. Through urban design motifs, he explores scale, surface, colour and graphic line. Best known for his subversively- simplified architectural facades, Woods’ accessible, humorous style opens up wider socio-economical debate. Woods creates architectural installations and re-surfacing of structures that propose an absurd twist on the cult of home improvement and DIY aesthetics. His works are characterised by cartoon-like decorative surfaces, bold patterns and vibrant colours.

Richard Woods (b. Chester, England in1966). His works are held in major collections including the Saatchi Collection, London; Arts Council England, London; Victoria and Albert Museum; London; British Museum, London and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Richard Woods lives and works in London.

Art is as much about design as it is art, and design is as much about art as it is about design.

Richard Woods

Gioele Amaro (IT)

A master of the art of synthesis, Amaro combines, transforms, and blurs boundaries to construct a dialogue between traditional mediums (painting, photography, drawing) and new technologies. His work is digitally painted, then printed on canvas. He then meticulously reworks each canvas, applying several layers of varnish. By bringing his own touch to this original technique, Amaro shifts figurative representation into the abstract and captures the essence of the subject from real life. As much as Amaro works with the abstract as part of an ephemeral visual state, he also works with the distortion of familiar motifs and icons. Several of Amaro’s works paraphrase, or directly derive their “motifs”, from works from art history or digital pop culture. These are processed until they inhabit a sensual place between abstraction and recognition.

Gioele Amaro (b. 1986, Calabria; IT) lives and works in Paris. He is a trained architect and previously worked with renowned architect Jean Nouvel. He has participated in major international exhibitions at Reinhard Hauff, Balice Hertling, Almine Rech, High Art, Cuturi Gallery, and Galerie Untilthen. His works are included in a variety of private and public collections internationally.

Uwe Henneken (DE)

Uwe Henneken creates works with narratives that refer to an aesthetic world that interweaves the self with nature as well as the past and present. In Henneken’s work, his personal development, his spiritual path and creative expression are all directly and visibly interlinked. Since the beginning of his artistic practice, Uwe Henneken has followed a strong inner vision, creating images that have a holistic healing effect while being viewed, and actively avoiding negative or disturbing emotional content. Characterised by a uniquely luminous colour palette, Henneken’s imagery often demonstrates an archetypal quality.

Uwe Henneken (b. 1974, Paderborn; DE) lives and works at Møn (DK). Henneken studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Karlsruhe (DE) and at HdK, Berlin (DE). His work has been shown internationally in galleries and institutions such as CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art of Bordeaux, Bordeaux (FR); Galerie Gisela Capitain, Cologne (DE); Aspen Art Museum, Aspen (US); Museum of Fine Arts of Leipzig, Leipzig (DE); Meyer Riegger, Karlsruhe (DE); Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York (US)

Some anthropologists see the shaman as the prototype of the artist, being able to travel between the worlds and come back to our reality with a vision to share and express. I wasn't aware as a kid, that I may get answers to my questions through painting.
