Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery is currently hosting a group exhibition titled “Between Structure and Disorder.”The exhibition showcases a collection of various works by artists: Matt Mignanelli, RICHARD SCHUR and Russell Tyler, who explore the materiality, form and limits of paint itself.“The works in this exhibition oscillate between clean geometric abstraction, fluid organic form, and painstaking deconstruction of painterly form. Arriving at the same destination from radically disparate paths, Mignanelli, Shur and Tyler take abstraction to its logical conclusion, which is to investigate the necessary relationship between order and chaos, structure and disorder. Art, by its very nature, navigates a winding path through structure and disorder: on the one hand, the artwork is always already structured by the artist’s decisions in the process of making, but on the other hand, it is subjected to the earthly disorder of entropy, memory and expression. The artist is, after all, only ever attempting to bring order to the chaos of existence,” says the gallery.Matt Mignanelli creates paintings based on geometric forms, inspired by light, shadow, and architectural elements present in the urban landscape. His process combines incredibly detailed, methodical hand-painting with references to utilitarian painting applications in municipal and industrial contexts. The artist works Brooklyn and is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. His paintings have been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and internationally.Born in Munich (1971), RICHARD SCHUR studied with Jerry Zeniuk at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, and graduated as “Meisterschuler” in 2000. From 2002 to 2008, he taught painting as Assistant Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. Through a long, systematic and intuitive process, he aims to reflect the meaning of every brushstroke and any detail in his compositions.Born 1981 in Summertown, Tennessee, Russell Tyler lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Tyler received his M.F.A. from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and his B.F.A. from Concordia University in Montreal. He has had solo exhibitions at Richard Heller Gallery in Los Angeles, Denny Gallery in New York City, Galerie Bernard Ceysson in France, Ribordy Contemporary in Switzerland and DCKT Contemporary in New York City. Russell Tyler’s recent paintings are a playful, method-based approach to abstraction, as opposed to his earlier series which captured an expressionist bravura or cool geometry.The exhibition will be on view through August 4, 2018, at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Linien Str. 130, 10115, Berlin, Germany.For details visit: https://kristinhjellegjerde.comClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.http://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin
