RAPHAELA SIMON – STERNE
2019-02-04Simon’s ladies, fashionably dressed and with golden rings on their fingers, the glass of champagne right at hand, describe a crowd
usually encountered at exhibition openings – a cigarette in the mouth, sunglasses covering the face, purse and costume in matching colours. Simon makes figures out of various fabrics in an elaborate and detailed manner. The hair is accurately composed of pieces of textile, polished nails are applied to the fingertips and visible seams mark distinctive facial features.
For the first time Raphaela Simon presents a selection of these fabric figures together with new paintings. Simon’s canvases are defined by clear and simple compositions. Structures and forms are being constantly repeated, colours such as light blue, white and black carry like a thread through her entire work.
