Sabine Moritz: Rot Gelb Blau Staub

Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin, is pleased to present Rot  Gelb  Blau  Staub, a solo exhibition by Sabine Moritz, marking her inaugural exhibition with the gallery.For the exhibition, Moritz brings together twelve large-format canvases arranged in groups of three, her first quadriptych oil painting, and a still life. In addition, a selection of works on paper are presented on the upper floor gallery, offering an insight into the artist’s diverse oeuvre from the last thirty years. Working in abstraction and figuration, the artist paints or draws on canvas and paper, across large and small scales, in pared-down tones in her early works, and later in vivid hues. Ostensibly disparate, her works demand a slow and intimate process of looking. In these moments of pause, recurring motifs, figures and forms gently come to the fore. Echoing like fragments of memory, her works begin to inform one another in subtle and surprising ways.
