Karin Weber Gallery is excited to announce 'Fragments In Flux: Abstractions by Tina Buchholtz', celebrating this internationally renowned artist's return to Hong Kong and first solo exhibition since 2015.
'Fragments In Flux' introduces recent works to capture highlights from Tina Buchholtz' oeuvre and its evolution – from softer, pigmented intimately scaled pieces in her 2019 'Bowl' series to her recent, confidently vibrant canvases from 2024. The artist remains consistent in her strongly physical technique, layering and scraping a range of materials from finest colour pigments to metals, glass and even gold leaf in their purest form.
While Buchholtz's canvases strongly suggest 'painting', her works rarely encounter an actual paint brush. Her tool of choice is a spatula, which is harnessed for a variety of mark-making in her signature style: layered, spread, or finely outlined. Inspiration for her works is consistently found in the world around her, with a clearly visible connection to nature, and the occasional commentary on socio-political events, but also found further afield from encounters with different cultures and visualities.
Recent shows of Buchholtz' work include 'Magma' at Gallery F37 and 'Silvermoon' at Gallery Art Center, both in Berlin, and other solo and group projects around Europe. Her striking canvases can be found in private and public collections in Europe and around the world, most notably German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the German Parliament Collection, Berlin, and SAP AG in Walldorf, Germany.
