CORE presents two artists, whose meeting and painting corresponds. The core exhibition presents two artists, whose meeting and painting corresponds. In the fall of 2010, the painter Uta Zeidler met the painter Gerard Waskievitz. The preparation of the joint exhibition was linked to discussions and exchange experiences to material and theme making. Both artists engaged in in the development of their works biography whose monotony in the dialog as an artist as well as with the random model and portrait work. Both artists painted them entirely and found their way to the figurative. While Uta Zeidler the abstract paint, the color and the thickness of the material”was interested in, Gerard Waskievitz was based on the compensatory process that never finally takes his degree for him. He dubbed fragments or used them to create confusion.
Images were partially washed, painted over and processed until there was a history of the work in layers. Today, both artists essentially meet methodically in their pictures and free yourself: Uta Zeidler want no narrow limits, also thematically, wants to paint everything, what’s bothering you right now: the heart attack, the unequal lovers, the stray dog, whom I see on the road early, the happiness and love “the images by Gerard Waskievitz in their consideration seem sometimes to stop: I know not how it goes off and then start I again front at”. CORE shows a mixture of beliefs, fantasies and abstract discharges. It color when tilted like and tries to have no taboos and to combine everything on the screen. The artists are looking for speech, inspiration, and engagement in their images. The result is an inspiring versatility.
It involves the artist now according to a purely abstract period living diversity in their motives and the manner of painting, these henceforth accompanies them on their expedition of finding, failure and success, the new discovery and finding. In contrast, Gerard Waskievitz is access to imagery via the observer: because what is really visible, is this not in passing. Loneliness is associated with contemplation and restlessness, provocation and reflection. Religion and faith, love and transience can look deeply felt emotion in the picture. What it all course, in the mind of the artist”, a visitor describes during a visit of the exhibition work of the dreamer” and comes back again to pause before the image.
