The seventh solo exhibition of German artist Hans-Peter Feldmann will run at 303 Gallery, New York from September 15 through October 29. Feldmann’s body of work includes photography, sculpture, installation, drawing, and, as featured in this exhibition, painting. Feldmann's obsession with collecting images is well known in the history of conceptual art. His books and photographs lay the foundation for what we know today as Postmodernism. The images that he collects are categorically banal, and at the same time cleverly suggestive in nature. Feldmann’s idea of a painting show consists of "found paintings" that are reworked and placed in unexpected dialogues. From transforming aristocratic paintings into subtle farce to uncovering the hidden language of landscape paintings, Feldmann’s aim is to analyze and scrutinize the force behind images and its influence on our subconscious, simultaneously subverting and controlling their capacities.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek of the exhibition.
