Dr. Kremer "shows color" in discourse with five contemporary artists at Galerie Renate Bender.
Exhibition from September 13th to October 26th, 2013
The pigment is the starting point of almost all forms of expression in the visual arts since man once began to paint. Lapis lazuli and purple are just two of the best-known - and most valuable - pigments, which, along with other historical and modern pigments, are produced by Kremer Pigmente GmbH & Co. KG. At the start of the Open Art season, in cooperation with Kremer Pigmente, we will show how and from what color is created, and what a wide variety of uses the pigment has today in international contemporary art: Maria Lalić explores its origins and history in her conceptual cycle of works "History Paintings." Bim Koehler uses it to create completely individual colors for each individual panel of his "Stripe Paintings." Alfonso Fratteggiani Bianchi rubs the pigment pure into the sandstone; Jerry Zeniuk uses it primarily for his delicate watercolors or mixes it with oil for his canvas paintings; Matt McClune, on the other hand, uses acrylic binders and then applies the paint in transparent layers to anodized aluminum or even other supports such as plastic films.

Transparency of Color
Matt McClune – Nick Terry
Exhibition from July 4th to August 3rd, 2013
The "Transparency of Color" is a particular concern for two of our American artists. In the exhibition, we juxtapose Nick Terry's "watercolors," which in their intense color radiance go far beyond the usual notions of a watercolor work, with new works by Matt McClune: paper-thin layers of paint on superimposed transparent paper or plastic film, some of which are even hung completely free of a support.

Exhibition from May 11th to June 29th, 2013
Unter dem Titel „Black & White“ werden den perfekten, hochglänzend schwarzen Wandarbeiten von Douglas Allsop weiße Faltungen von Peter Weber gegenübergestellt. Geometrie und klare Ordnungssysteme sind die Basis beider Positionen. Die weißen Faltungen aus Filz und Papier mit ihrer starken stofflichen Präsenz bilden den Gegenpart zu den reflektierenden, den Raum aufgreifenden Arbeiten von Douglas Allsop.

Landscape Paintings
Maria Lalić
Exhibition from June 30th to July 30th, 2011
Using a methodical, almost scientific approach the artist has worked for years on her cycles. Over the past 15 years the Gallery has shown, for example, works from the cycles “Metals & Colours” and “History Paintings”. For her new series “Landscape Paintings” the artist has investigated the names of painting colours or pigments – for example, “Paris Blue“ or “English Green” – and referred to a famous landscape painting of the time (here Seurat’s “Bridge of Courbevoie”). From these locations she removed bits of soil, which she ground in her studio to the finest pigment and then used it to paint the bottom part of her new paintings.
Light Times – Vermillion
Inge Dick on her 70th birthday
Exhibition from January 4th to March 5th, 2011
With her photo projects – whether it be with large Polaroid cameras or with her new film project “Vermillion” shown in the exhibition “Lichtzeiten” (“Light Times”) at the Upper Austrian Landesmuseum (Linz, spring 2008) Inge Dick presents one of the most unusual positions in contemporary and experimental photography. New in her first film – shot in real time – is the documentation of the changing colour of a vermilion surface filmed between 7am and 8.30pm. In her most recent photographic project, Inge Dick creates photographic images on the basis of the film, showing the sequences and changes in colour of the vermillion plate she had originally filmed. We are showing the first „stills“ in the exhibition.
In her most recent photo project, she creates works based on the film “Vermillion”, which also show the temporal sequences and the changes in color values. We are showing the first “stills” in the exhibition.
