Galerie Gisela Capitain in Cologne is hosting an exhibition titled ‘Meuser’ named after the sculptor through December 23, 2016.Presenting the sculptor’s sixth solo exhibition at the gallery, the exhibition presents a collection of Meuser’s work comprising industrially manufactured objects made of scrap steel or iron that no longer serve their original purpose — he shapes them into works of art by cutting or welding. Painted almost entirely monochromatically, the works shift between sculpture and abstract painting. The metal objects have a lightness that contrasts with the apparent coarseness and heaviness of the material. Playful effects such as these as well as the ironic use of various levels of meaning are amplified by the conceptual framework of the works and represents Meuser’s trademark aesthetic within which formal elements of various artistic approaches are combined in original and unique ways.“Meuser” is on display at Galerie Gisela Capitain, Sankt-Apern-Straße 20, 50667 Cologne, Germany.For details, visit: http://www.galeriecapitain.de/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peak of the exhibition
