2-TIMES • Art
Johannes Kahrs,
‘Sleep’ @
Massimo De Carlo
(Mayfair)
—
“Corporality
sectioned with
fetishistic care...”
Born:
1965 – Bremen,
Germany.
The exhibition:
‘Sleep’ is the German
artist's first solo
with Massimo De
Carlo, taking its title
from a series of works
from 2019, based on
some photographs
taken by Kahrs
in several airports
around the world.
“The subjects
of the German
author's artworks
present themselves
in all their human
indecipherability,
shaken by pressures
and malaise: the
monstrous yet familiar
realism of Kahrs'
paintings provokes
entangled empathy
and reveals the
hidden and violent
side of humanity.”
2-TIMES' highlights:
· Untitled (junge am meer), 2020
· Untitled (black sand), 2018
On view at:
