RICHARD DEACON

Richard Deacon (born 1949 in Bangor, Wales) is one of Britain’s most
celebrated sculptors. His structures emerge from a keen interest in the
characteristics of the material itself, allowing him to play with the ways in
which it can be shaped and how it relates to human association and sensory
experience. His works can be found in leading collections including the
Tate, Centre George Pompidou, Museo Reina Sofía, Kunstmuseum Basel,
Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Stedelijk Museum, Louisiana Museum of Modern
Art, Hiroshima Museum of Art, Kröller-Müller Museum, MCA in Chicago,
MoMA, SFMOMA, Walker Art Gallery, and the Hirshhorn Museum and
Sculpture Garden. Currently, Richard Deacon is working towards his
upcoming exhibition at the gallery this autumn.

PAT STEIR
REBECCA HORN
For decades, Pat Steir (born 1940 in Newark, NJ, USA) has been an
important fixture in the New York art scene. With her specific concept-
oriented approach Steir can be seen in the tradition of abstract painting
Rebecca Horn (born 1944 in Michelstadt, Germany) is one of a gener-
à la Jackson Pollock, a heritage which she combines with her expertise in
ation of German artists who came to international prominence in the
Chinese painting traditions. Since around 2000 Steir has developed an
1980s, practicing body art and working in different media, including
ever more subtle method using the process of dripping to create a deli-
performance, installation art, sculpture and film. She is one of very few
cate interwoven curtain-like surface texture which has been the basis for
artists who participated in documenta on four separate occasions and
many paintings of the years to come.
throughout her career has received numerous awards including Kai-
    In 2019, the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia unveiled Steir’s “Silent
serring der Stadt Goslar, Praemium Imperiale Tokyo, Pour le Mérite
Secret Waterfalls: The Barnes Series,” a monumental commission, con-

ANGELA DE LA CRUZ

In her works, Angela de la Cruz (born 1965 in La Coruña, Spain) puts
the structural qualities of painting into question by liberating them from
their twodimensional existence. Canvases and stretcher frames are cut,
torn and broken for this purpose and emerge as objects that challenge
their categorization as painting. De la Cruz thus—literally and quite
brutally—detaches the idea of the picture from its physical carrier as
well as from tradition: “The moment I cut through the canvas I get rid of
the grandiosity of painting.”
   Currently, Angela de la Cruz’s work is on view at Museo Cabañas in
Guadalajara in Mexico, at the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum and Patio Her-
reriano in Valladolid in Spain.

IRIS SCHOMAKER

Over the past twenty years, Iris Schomaker (born 1973 in Stade, Germany)
has used paper as the primary carrier for her figurative painting.
Employing precisely elaborated composition and a calculated process of
formal reduction within their originally figurative nature, Schomaker’s
works transcend the mere depiction of a particular scene, exploring the
potential of painting to convey a pure idea; a notion or an experience.
    Iris Schomaker studied fine arts in Kiel and Hamburg, as well as in
Trondheim and Bergen in Norway. She has participated in various national
and international exhibitions, including Sammlung Friedrichshof, Vienna
(2018), Kunstverein Schloss Plön (2016), Beijing International Art
Biennale (2015), Mediation Biennal, Poznan (2014), Museum Sinclair-
Haus, Bad Homburg (2014), Frankfurter Kunstverein (2013), Kunsthaus
Stade (2013), Berlinische Galerie (2007; 2010), Schloss Salzau (2009),
Staatliche Galerie, Zoppot (2001) and Villa Manin in Passariano (2001).
Her works can be found in several public and many private collections.
Iris Schomaker lives and works in Berlin.

IDRIS KHAN
Idris Khan OBE (born 1978 in Birmingham, UK) in the last few years
has become one of the UK’s most successful artists and has also gained
great international acclaim. Khan demonstrates his profound interest in
language and meaning over a wide array of media, including painting,
sculpture, photography, works on paper or glass. His densely-layered
imagery inhabits the space between abstraction and figuration encom-
passing aspects of history, cumulative experience, and the metaphysical
collapse of time into a single moment.
     In 2017, he was awarded the American Architecture Prize for the
design of his Memorial Monument and Pavilion of Honour in the new
Memorial Park in Abu Dhabi. In October 2019, Khan’s monumental
sculpture “65,000 Photographs” was installed at the new public plaza in
Blackfriars in London and is the artist’s first permanent public artwork
in the UK. In 2022, he will stage a major solo exhibition at the Milwau-
kee Art Museum in Wisconsin.

MICHAEL MÜLLER

Michael Müller (born 1970 in Ingelheim am Rhein, Germany) is a con-
ceptual artist whose manifold, proliferating oeuvre resists any straight-
forward or one-way interpretation. Müller is and was first a painter and
draftsman. Originally coming from Gerhard Richter and from the Düs-
seldorf Academy, he has put more than 25 years of distance and concep-
tual thinking in between and invested enormous energy in his artistic
position. This already some time ago led to two phenomenal exhibitions
at the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden and at KW Institute for Contemporary
Art in Berlin.
     In the last few years, Michael Müller has again devoted himself
primarily to the development of a concentrated painterly concept that
stands on a firm footing, and the results are magnificent. A series from
this can be seen right now in Berlin in the still unrefurbished new exhi-
bition space of the Wemhöner Collection.

JUAN USLÉ

Juan Uslé (born 1954 in Santander, Spain) participated in the 51st Venice
Biennale and exhibited at documenta 9. In 2002, he was awarded the
National Award for Fine Arts, Spain. His work is part of various public
collections, including Museo Reina Sofía, Foundation “La Caixa”, Museum
Boijmans van Beuningen, MUMOK, Migros Museum, Zurich, MUDAM,
Luxembourg, Pinakothek der Moderne, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Moderna
Museet, New York Public Library, Serralves Museum, Sammlung Goetz,
Marugame Hirai Museum, Museo de Bellas Artes de Santander and the
Saatchi Collection.
    His work is currently on view in a comprehensive solo exhibition at
Bombas Gens Centre d’Art in Valencia and as part of a group exhibition
at the Museum of Modern Spanish art Patio Herreriano in Valladolid in
Spain.

HAMISH FULTON

“I transform ideas into experienced realities.
If I do not make a walk I cannot make any art.
I am an artist who walks, not a walker who makes art.
Not every artist enjoys walking
and not every walker is tolerant of contemporary art.”

States, Mexico, Canada, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Nepal, India,
Australia, Japan and Tibet. Fulton’s work has been shown extensively
