JOHANNA DUMET – LA VIE EN ROUGE
2021-11-01Berlin‘s legendary Paris Bar is the setting for Dumet‘s most recent series of works named LA VIE EN ROUGE, which gave the exhibition its title. In PARIS BAR (2021), a large-scale painting in oil on canvas, Dumet copies Martin Kippenberger‘s famous 1991 painting of the same title in its original size, though she exchanges the artworks hung on the wall in the painting with her personal favourites. Alongside modernist masters such as Henri Rousseau and Henri Matisse, there are also works by a younger generation of artists, such as a sculpture by her partner Manuel Wroblewski and two of her own paintings. She also selects works by Karl Horst Hödicke, Joseph Beuys, Danny Fox, Tal R, Conny Maier, Navot Miller, David Shrigley, Jonathan Meese, and Julian Schnabel, whom she met at Paris Bar. Following Daniel Richter, whose copy of Kippenberger’s painting can currently be seen in Paris Bar, Dumet is the first female painter to bring this particular motif into our time.
