IN OUR OWN IMAGE - BERLIN

Belgian artists Veulemans and Janssens have one thing in common: they share a passion for the eternal conflict between good and evil, life and death. In their works, this conflict is played out very differently though - while Veulemans stresses the beauty of decay and fragility of life in his taxidermist sculptures and installations featuring the bodies of real animals, Janssens’ sculptures are completely man-made and focus on the struggle of overcoming a mere physical existence. Often, his figures appear to wish they could escape from the sufferings their bodies are exposed to by battered machines and strange apparatuses holding them captive, and to release their battered spirits. American artist Christina Graf’s delicate paper installation titled “Merry-Go-Sorrow” will be presented in The Vault, Strychnin’s back room that is reserved for individual artists on special occasions.

We are very excited for the show and hope to see you there :)
