Jean-Claude GÖTTING Solitaires
Presentation
A young woman engrossed in a game of cards on a bed. A cat curled in an armchair with its back firmly turned. A man lost in the crowd at a chic nightclub. A woman in a theatre, leaning on a balustrade; another sitting in a park, gazing into space... While Jean-Claude Götting's previous series of paintings featured multiple figures, for this new exhibition the artist has opted to represent figures in isolation.
Götting may be emphasising the notion of absence. Or celebrating silence, perhaps. At any event, what we have here are more of the artist's precious snapshots from life. These precisely rendered scenes (executed in acrylic) are shrouded in mystery and invite the viewer to formulate his or her own story. The composition of each of these works is an object lesson in harmony and contrasts, the whole supported by a vibrant colour palette.
Five rare engraved wood panels also form part of the exhibition, together with a selection of original comic book plates and black and white illustrations on the gallery's mezzanine floor.
