Press Release

Cadogan Gallery is delighted to announce Zwischen Tür und Angel, a new exhibition by German artist Kim Bartelt. Developing on from an earlier series based on iconic paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance, in her latest body of work, Kim Bartelt applies her distinct, abstract geometric style to pared down, emotive scenes inspired by the annunciation. These works refer to the german proverb “Zwischen Tür und Angel”, a sense of something happening in a quick, spontaneous manner, often with someone on the threshold of moving on or passing by. That subtle sense of uncertainty, is both emphasised and defied by her deceptively simple language of rectangles and squares. The artist’s unique way to both reduce and accentuate the metaphysical potency so inherent in all her work.

About the Artist

Drawing on the language of geometric abstraction, the work of Kim Bartelt mediates on the ephemerality of our world and the hidden connections of contemporary human experience. Her use of a consciously restrained visual vocabulary, consisting of squares and rectangles, harnesses complex emotional states into seemingly controlled, harmonious compositions. Creating canvases that may at first appear solitary and silent, through contemplative engagement, reveal a pulsing inner landscape that captures the often fragile connection between the seen and the unseen, the permanent and transient.
