Minami-Aoyama Room, Tokyo: September 13-28, 2024
Matsumoto: October 12-27, 202
Gallery Sekiryu is pleased to present Astrid Köppe's second solo exhibition in four years focusing on her latest drawings at two venues: Aoyama Tokyo and Matsumoto Nagano.
Astrid Köppe (born in Köthen, Germany, 1974) has been creating delicate drawings of mysterious beings captured by her inner eye on A4 paper since 1999 without changing her format. Her creative process is reminiscent of early botanists who meticulously observed and accurately depicted new plant species in botanical illustrations.
Based on this drawing approach Köppe explores different dimensions and scales through enamel works which involve firing glassy glazes onto metal panels and through installations that add a twist to everyday objects.
Regardless of the style what unites her work is a pleasant sense of bewilderment and a ticklish humor. These qualities are distinctly Köppe.
