Small pieces of Berlin are being displayed for a few weeks at 44AD.
Berlin Walls Art Events showcase an eclectic mix of artworks by artists from the recent past and present, established or emerging from the German capital.
Works on Paper - for your Walls at 44AD will be the first stop in the tour of the exhibition around Southern England.
Simon Hearnden unearthed the delightful, accomplished monotypes of the enigmatic Walter Lindner (1936-2007) at a flea market in Berlin in 2006.
He later sold his Oxfordshire home to purchase the contents of the late artists studio, and now works with the artists’ widow to promote him. Wonderfully constructed and composed graphic works, but by a currently little known artist from the end of the last millennium might seem an unusual choice for this event, but Simon recognises that Lindner is a true master of his genré, who’s works interest both artists and visitors alike.
During 40 fruitful years, Lindner perfected his technique, creating monotypes from hand painted glass plates, which he used as the basis for his unique, hand-finished, original artworks. Looking great in almost any location, these relatively inexpensive originals and artist edition prints also present a possible investment opportunity.
Buoyed by the positive response to Lindner’s work, Simon began delving more earnestly into the Berlin art world. He now concentrates on bringing lesser-known artists from the city to wider attention, under the umbrella title ‘Berlin Walls.’
The Works on Paper event also includes wall space for a selection of contemporary, striking, signed stone printed lithographs. This fascinating and time consuming process, printed colour by colour, produces remarkably fine quality prints not possible via conventional four-colour process printing. There are few presses remaining, but artists queue to experience drawing directly onto a flat stone, working with a printer to create unique artists editions.
A selection of such prints by notable contemporaries as Daniel Richter, Christiane Baumgartner and Stephan Balkenhol are being offered for sale, along with selected other works on paper of interest.
Simon will be on hand throughout most of the exhibition and can enlighten you about the techniques and the artists who created the varied works displayed.
