Annely Juda Fine Art presents Werner Haypeter’s exhibition “Wall Crossing” in its gallery in London.“Wall Crossing” is Haypeter’s third solo exhibition at Annely Juda Fine Art. Haypeter has, since the 1980s, explored geometric form in discreet works made from resin, wood, PVC and paper. Engaging with the purely abstract paintings of twentieth-century Modernism, Haypeter’s work succeeds in uniting the theories of abstraction with the aesthetic of mass production. This exhibition includes wall-based, three-dimensional resin works through which acrylic paint is frozen in horizontal and vertical lines. Haypeter’s trademark yellow is dominant; however we also see bright blues and muted greys. The precise nature of the works is deceiving: all are handmade in Haypeter’s studio in Germany and the touch of the human hand can be made out on closer inspection whilst uncontrolled bubbles appear in the poured resin.The wall-mounted works exist somewhere between paintings and sculptures; some protrude from the wall at a right angle, other works stand on plinths, emphasising their sculptural quality. Paper is folded, torn and layered, furthering Haypeter’s exploration of geometric form whilst quietly drawing our attention to the inherent quality of the material. Transparency and opacity are investigated and the relationship between picture fields given prominence in beautifully subtle works on paper. Wermer Haypeter was born in Germany in 1955. He studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and has exhibited widely throughout Europe. He lives and works in Düsseldorf and Bonn, Germany.The exhibition will be on view from September 7 through October 21, 2017 at Annely Juda Fine Art, 4th Floor, 23 Dering Street, London W1S 1AW.For details, visit: http://www.blouinartinfo.com/galleryguide/annely-juda-fine-art/overviewClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
