Jutta Haeckel: Eternal Return
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Hosfelt Gallery, San Francisco
(see times)
Jan 31-Mar 14, Reception Feb 7, 4-6pm; Tu, We, Fr, Sa 10:00-5:30, Th 11-7
The Dusseldorf painter's new works are studies in dichotomy and ambiguity. They are representational yet abstract, both microscopic and macrocosmic, based equally in contemporary scientific theories and historic German Romanticism. As source material, Haeckel uses photographs of the natural world, including close-ups of organic material and satellite images from Google Earth. She superimposes and weaves them together using what look like the techniques of Abstract Expressionism--splashes, streaks, smears and brushstrokes; but they are in fact meticulously composed and constructed. Through opposing perspectives Haeckel studies "the essence of things" and our yearning for explanations.
