Press Release

Bartha_contemporary is pleased to present I WISH YOU WELL, showcasing new works by Mike Meiré from his ongoing ‘Eternal News Series’. In this body of work, the artist transforms daily newspapers, symbols of the fleeting and disposable, into cast reliefs in bronze and nickel silver.

The fragile structures of crumpled and worn pages are fossilised into gleaming surfaces that appear at once like archaeological fragments and monumental objects. In doing so, Meiré exposes the paradox of our information culture: headlines that disappear within hours are re-encountered here as enduring artefacts.

I WISH YOU WELL reflects on the current state of the world, marked by social crises and geopolitical conflict, while at the same time unfolding as a gesture of resilience.

About the Artist

Mike Meiré describes his work as a continued investigation into life’s evolutionary processes, which the artist interprets in three phases, birth, biography and death. Central to all of Meiré‘s work is a delicate interplay between highly refined against mundane everyday materials. The intriguing juxtaposition of organic often sexually explicit or gender-orientated objects with anodyne geometric elements play an increasingly important role in Meiré‘s work. These evoke a sense of ambivalence towards modernity.

About the Gallery

Established at the turn of the century by Niklas and Daniela von Bartha, the London-based gallery, Bartha Contemporary, places a strong emphasis on non-figurative and conceptual works by mostly established American and European contemporary artists. Hailing from the second generation of the art-dealing von Bartha family, Niklas, along with his wife Daniela, maintains a retrospective look at underappreciated modernising movements of the past in the gallery programme, whilst championing the latest works of contemporary artists.
