"Skywards" Painting

Elke Bohm Painter and sculptor Berlin, Germany Group exhibitions Galerie Fukuyama Kleinmachnow/ Berlin 2006; Galerie Fukuyama Kleinmachnow/ Berlin 2007; Schweißsalon/ Berlin 2010; Open Studios and Gardens/ Caputh 2011; GEHAG/ Berlin 2011 Filed by Galleria d'Arte Gagosian/ Rome 2013; individual exhibition at " Kunstkammer Friedenau"/ Berlin, 2016. Another individual ehibition is planned in May 2021, provided there is no lockdown. Pictures What all these pictures have in common are their intrinsic dynamics. Sometimes this shows in the brush work, sometimes in the ambiguity of a posture. Even seemingly peaceful paintings are disquieting as soon as you see them next to their companions. Tools and Finds Tools and hardware are not only thrown away when they are broken, but when they are still in good repair, too, because there are new gadgets to replace them. I appreciate the beauty of these artefacts and think they will soon be admired in technical museums. Up to then I will endeavour to lay my hands on some of them.
