The exhibition is dedicated to the work of the Dresden artist, H. G. Griese, who became known for his expressive and experimental works. Griese's works, characterised by a unique formal language and intensive use of colour, reflect his exploration of social and individual themes. The exhibition offers a comprehensive insight into his work and invites visitors to discover the diversity of his artistic expression.
about the exhibition
Older people will remember the »Fast Forward« button on analogue tape recorders and cassette players. With its help, you couldn't get to the music you wanted to hear immediately (like today), but at least you could do so at an accelerated speed. In terms of art history, one can see an analogy to this in the rapid developments of the last three decades or in the ideas of artists. On the intellectual path from milestones of development such as the Renaissance or Romanticism to the present day, they sometimes take shortcuts that would never occur to a theorist. Such accelerations also provide H.G. Griese with repeated pictorial occasions and ideas, regardless of whether the motifs are realistic or strictly constructed. We will present a selection of his works from recent years.

About H. G. Griese
H. G. Griese (*1964), studied at the Dresden University of Fine Arts from 1967-1995 and has been active as a freelance artist in the city ever since. Originally characterised by figurative depictions, Griese increasingly turned to constructive abstraction in the course of his artistic development. His works are characterised by a clear formal language and an exploration of geometric structures and surfaces. With precise lines and a subtle understanding of colour, he creates works that oscillate between order and dynamism, always leaving room for interpretation. Griese's art reflects a deep interest in the balance between structure and artistic freedom.
