Galerie Rothamel – Exhibition Grita and Moritz Götze
- Written by Portal Editor
The days are getting darker, the light must come from within. A good time for art by Grita and Moritz Götze.
Their painting is virtuoso, the technical perfection enormous
Grita Götze creates ceramics whose quality confidently leaves the boundaries of applied art behind: her painting is virtuoso, the technical perfection enormous.
Works by the artist can be found in collections such as those of the August Kaestner Museum in Hanover, the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe, the Moritzburg Art Museum in Halle, the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin and the Museum Ludwig.
“Anyone who wants to find out how beauty and the image of nature can mutually enhance each other in an artistic object will find fascinating visual models in Grita Götze’s ceramic works.
With the gesture of the obvious, usability and decoration, vessel shape and ornament are in perfect harmony in these objects."
Karin Thomas
"The artist works on these vessels for weeks.
They are the visible luxury of resting time.
Self-will and the astonishing degree of mastery are their unique selling point.
There is no squinting to the side.
This is a splendor that does not care in the slightest about concepts, trends, innovations and all the other current events."
Rüdiger Giebler
Götze describes his art as German Pop
Moritz Götze looks at our world from surprising perspectives and turns it into unmistakable works of art.
He acts like someone who has experienced everything up close, but reports on our time from the distant future.
This narrative perspective makes some things bearable that are almost unbearable when viewed without distance.
Götze's warm-hearted and alert works give their viewers a unique aura.
Götze describes his art as German Pop and dates its roots back to the humanism of the 16th century.
He has created one of the most extensive oeuvres of our time: paintings, architectural works, enamels, mosaics, sculptures, objects, drawings and graphics. He created new screen printing techniques and renewed contemporary enamel painting.
Moritz Götze has appeared in hundreds of individual and group shows worldwide, in both renowned and eccentric locations.
His works can be seen in numerous public collections, and his artistic oeuvre is one of the most extensive of our time.
"If history is a darkroom, then Götze is one of the light makers. He allows himself an unclouded view, free of ideology."
Christoph Tannert
About the Rothamel Gallery
After 19 years and 153 exhibitions in Fahrgasse, we have found a new space with a lot of potential in Frankfurt's Westend: the former savings bank branch on the corner of Grüneburgweg and Reuterweg; extremely brittle charm, safe in the basement. Schockverliebt
