​
WHITECONCEPTS PROJECTS is pleased to present AND BEYOND, a group exhibition showing recent figurative and abstract works by four Berlin-based artists: Jenny Keuter, Beate Baumholzer-Fetzer, Robert Niemann and Jan Ziegler.
AND BEYOND explores the notion of profoundness – the search for what lies in front, behind, or in between an image and its beholder. The shown works are subject to rather invisible or hardly perceptible aspects of art and art making, such as intuition, feeling and meaning. In their drawings and paintings, the artists explore this matter from different perspectives.
Beate Baumholzer’s portraits incarnate stories of intimacy and sensual beauty which are presented in her objective paintings. Jenny Keuter’s dynamic graphical works oscillate between pace and precision, whereas Robert Niemann’s artwork captures intimate human situations detached from their spacial environment – moments in time that express quiet reflectiveness and contemplation. Jan Ziegler is using sketchy outlines scratched in wet paint that catch moments of fragility within his abstracting portraits.
OPENING: Tuesday 12th September 2017, 19–22 h
EXHIBITION: Tuesday 12th – sunday 17th September 2017, 13–21 h, sun 13–17 h

We are happy to announce our pop-up group show UMÆTTELIGHED_VORACITY at BLAA GALLERI KØPENHAVN October 7th + 9th 2016. We presented this exhibition with the title VORACITY as a contribution to Berlin 48 Stunden Neukölln Art Festival in June 2016 before its roll-out in Copenhagen. The show introduces ve distinct artistic positions, each understanding art as an engagement as an insatiable driver of individual expression, here displayed together for this temporary presentation.
In their drawings , paintings and installation works, the artists Beate Baumholzer, Davide Hjort, Donata Kindesperk, Robert Niemann and Jan Ziegler demonstrate modern societies steady greed for aesthetic novelties and changes. The need for unexplored visual stimuli is deemed to be a base of human culture. Since always, portrait images are giving the opportunity to display reality in versatile variations and mostly play with glori cation and idealisation.
The yearning of a narcissistic society for self-portraits, for admiration and con rmation by its social environment is playing a key role in this context and is re ected critically in the artwork displayed.

BEATE BAUMHOLZER, Naturstudien
Unter dem Titel Sichtweise zeigt Beate Baumholzer Farbkompositionen in Verbindung mit naturalistischer Malerei, die je nach Betrachter sich zu vage phantastischen Wesen wandeln.
Die Abstraktion der Landschaft läßt dem Beobachter Raum für eigene Phantasien und führt ihn somit ihn eine faszinierende emotionale Welt.

HEIMAT
Ausstellung 16.05. - 31.08.2013
Gallery Wild und Schön, Neue Schönholzer Str. 14, 13187 Berlin
Heimat ist für Beate Baumholzer ein außerordentlich wichtiger Begriff und eine häufig wiederkehrende Auseinandersetzung in ihren Arbeiten. Unter dem Titel Heimat versucht Sie die Erinnerungen festzuhalten, aber auch Neue, für jeden Einzelnen, seine eigenen Intuitionen zu ermöglichen. Es sind Kindheitserin- nerungen an Personen, Orte und Reisen im Inneren der Gefühle.
