| Gert and Uwe Tobias Untitled 2007 |
Back in December when I was in London I visited the Saatchi Gallery to see their latest exhibition Gesamtkunstwerk: New art from Germany.
Fourteen galleries filled with the artwork of 24 young and quirky German artists from sculpture and craftsmanship to oil on canvas to woodcut on papers to welded steel to oil on wood to media prints and watercolour and one especially curious mirror wall by Jeppe Hein which moves slightly when you approach it.
The artwork is wacky, bright, some politically related, others made from recycled materials and junk. There’s no end for admiration here and the artwork in at least one gallery will suit each artistic aesthetic eye.
It’s an exhibition that will take you no longer than a couple of hours if you attentively stop and admire all the artwork. It’s on until the 30th April 2012.
This is an insight into what German art is today.
I give it a huge thumbs up!
