“I never really know who’s going to show up in my paintings.”
On Saturday 7 November Andreas Dienert opens PLACES – a new exhibition of figurative and abstract paintings, all created over the past months.
”I like the idea that a face can be built like a place. A few walls, some questionable additions, evidence of previous occupants. Everything we’ve lived through, finding somewhere to sit.
Creating the portrait into blocks of colour and texture while keeping someone home behind the eyes.
There’s a point where the pieces start looking back at you. That’s the bit I’m after.”
Welcome to the opening of PLACES on 7 November 15–18 at UMA Gallery.
