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.
