2-TIMES • Art
Thomas Scheibitz,
‘The Hunter
in the Snow’
@ Sprüth Magers,
Los Angeles
—
“The notion of “hunting”
is a nod to the restless
movements of these
images as they seek
their final state, as well
as to the concept of
chasing down one’s
dream in the star-struck
city of Los Angeles.”
Born:
1968 – Radeberg, Germany.
Lives & works:
Berlin, Germany.
The exhibition:
is Scheibitz's first
solo show in Los Angeles
since 2001, featuring
a selection of recent
works that display the
breadth of subjects,
references, and visual
tropes which circulate
within the artist’s wide
ranging practice.
—
Informed by the systems
and codes that structure
both the world and our
understanding of it, his
paintings and sculptures
present complexly
layered, tectonic spaces
in which forms & figures
hang in careful balance
with one another.
“His forms hover at the
border of universality
and invention: they
look familiar, but also
strange and new.”
