In the previous T.G.I.F.-post I wrote about the vernissage I was invited to. I managed to stop by to have a look at the art works and had a few interesting conversations with people from the art scene. The Gallery Hexagone is located at Schützenstraße 16, in Aachen (Germany), and since last Friday its annual Christmas exhibition is on. This year’s exposition focuses especially on their Asian artists whereat all kind of styles and genre are present, e.g. pop art, (abstract) oil paintings, little installations (#7), photography (#3) or paintings that remind strongly on Dali's surrealism (#6). Amongst others oeuvres from Ren Rong(#2), Luoke Chen, Yukio Imamura, Leng Hong and Zhu Tianmeng are exhibited, but also Joe Stefanelli’s (#5) and Sven Inge’s (#7) works are presented again, as well as some contemporary artists exposing for the first time at Hexagone. To latter group belongs also Edith Suchodrew (foto #1), a very friendly lady from Riga, Lattvia, who I had the honor to talk with. Suchodrew studied at the art school, as well as the art academy in Riga where she graduated in the subject “Graphic / Diploma, Fine Arts”. She lives and works in Aachen right now, but has since over 35 years exhibitions all over the world and is therefore no innominate artist in the international art scene. Her works are complex and varied, and range from book art over etching, lithography, water colours, graphic, drawings, xylography, oil, silk and porcelain painting to computer graphics and animation. At Hexagone now she is represented with a sequence of small graphical shots which she processed on the computer. The five little pieces, which can be seen on photo #1, represent kind of dreamy, if not even psychedelic elements/snap-shots, which leaves the spectator itself the freedom of interpretation, a typical characteristic trait of Suchodrew’s works. For me personally Suchodrew’s work belongs definitely to my favourite pieces from all exhibited oeuvres, which is also why I got into conversation with her.
The exhibition at Hexagone is on since 16th December and can be visited till 11th January 2012.
