Galerie Robert Drees - Hannover

The quote from Nietzsche’s Zarathustra describes the scepticism about the spoken word shared by many artists. With this exhibition we initiate a discussion between what an image shows and what the viewer discerns. In his object panels, Dirk Salz explores spaces of depth, reflection and time that emerge through the many-layered application of pigments and resins beneath a high-gloss seal. Not only in his artistic accomplishment does he seek an ideal ‘that is yet to be reached’. Lara Kaiser, another YOUNG TALENT in our gallery programme, blurs space and representation, figuration and abstraction in her small- and medium-format oil paintings that examine art-historical motifs, perception and illusion. Dirk Salz and Lara Kaiser both question the limits of the inexpressible.
