Cornelia Baltes will present Tilt, a solo-exhibition at the Kunstraum Fuhrwerkswaage in Cologne, Gemarny.
Cornelia Baltes is known for her paintings and installations that oscillate between abstraction and figuration. Gestural lines of corporeal elements such as facial features, hands and feet are painted over solid fields or gradations of bright colour. Charged with a distinct intensity and sense of movement, Baltes’ minimal compositions balance playfulness with subtle detail, where seemingly spontaneous brushstrokes are in fact meticulously applied with highly pigmented paint. Grounded in a lexicon of imagery that conjure the viewer’s personal memories, experiences and associations, Baltes’ paintings morph into a different narrative for each of us.
The opening will take place on the 11th of May and the exhibition will run through the 8th of June 20525.
