Press Release

Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present Land’s End, a solo exhibition by Andreas Schulze at the London gallery. The show focuses on rarely-seen charcoal drawings, many of which date from the 1980s. Also on view is a series of new, never-before-shown colour paintings on paper. Together, both bodies of works underscore the artist’s playful and experimental way of creating illusionistic, ambiguous pictorial spaces – parables of the supposedly familiar and the uncannily bizarre. Embedded in the UK context, the exhibition title refers to the legendary headland of Land’s End in Cornwall, a transition point where one state of the landscape passes into another. Similarly, Schulze’s exhibited works represent transformation and show the artist’s compositional process, as many of the black and white drawings were later realized as color paintings.

Concurrent with the exhibition at the gallery, the artist is featured with his solo show On Stage at The Perimeter, which traveled from Kunsthalle Nürnberg to London and marks the first presentation of Andreas Schulze’s work in the UK in nearly ten years.

About the Artist

Andreas Schulze first came to prominence in the early 1980’s, as a pivotal figure in the explosive flourishing of creativity which centred around Monika Sprüth’s gallery in Cologne. Schulze has since been recognised as an inventor of new pictorial worlds, having developed an autonomous and unmistakable visual language with which to explore various interior views of society. A fundamental theme in the artist’s work is the power of painting to create illusion, giving multifaceted treatment to the theme of the interplay between being and appearance, reality and staging in the medium of painting. An independent and anti-hierarchical use of traditional styles of painting links his work with the Avant Garde movements of the early twentieth century, above all Dada, Surrealism and Symbolism, yet his cool, analytical compositions and his independent themes allow Schulze to retain a unique position within the context of contemporary art.
