Indepth Arts News: "focus: Magnus von Plessen" 2005-06-02 until 2005-08-31 Art Institute of Chicago Chicago, IL, USA
Painted on small canvases, portraits, scenes of daily activities, simple actions and architectural views sometimes appear from a monochrome background, and other times dissolve into it. His economical and direct expressions are virtual lexicons of brushstrokes: horizontal, vertical, and diagonal marks constitute a matrix where the various motifs appear with tremendous intensity, emerging from an absence of space. The relationship between photography and this approach to painting reveals itself both in von Plessen's propensity to extract and frame the particular, as well as in the sizes of his canvases.
For his focus exhibition at the Art Institute, von Plessen will create a new body of works on canvas.
Organizer: focus: Magnus von Plessen is organized by The Art Institute of Chicago.
Curator: James Rondeau, Frances and Thomas Ditmer Curator of Contemporary Art, Department of Contemporary Art, The Art Institute of Chicago.
