Origin Art | Realities and Representations

Origin Art presents: Realities and Representations - Forms of Abstraction

Join us for a captivating exploration of abstraction through the works of two innovative mid-career artists, Alex Coetzee and Olaf Bischoff.

This exhibition delves into the unique forms, compositions, colour palettes employed by each artist, showcasing an interplay between their individual approaches. Beyond this, it explores the fascinating dialogue the emerges these distinct bodies of work are presented side-by-side.

Coetzee and Bischoff - Diverse Approaches, Shared Playfulness:

Alex Coetzee, trained as both artist and architect, draws upon his diverse background to create playfully precise sculptures that explore the relationships between geometric forms, colour, and figurative association.

Olaf Bischoff, inspired by a childhood fever experience, presents a series of abstracted geometric landscapes reminiscent of Escher's work. He playfully reinterprets and references mid-century European abstract painting, creating a dynamic dialogue with the history of the medium.

Despite their distinct voices, both Coetzee and Bischoff find common ground in their dedication to experimentation and playfulness within the realm of abstraction. This extends to their use of color, composition, self-referential elements, and form itself.

More than just a showcase of individual works, Realities and Representations invites contemplation on the possibilities and permutations within abstraction. It presents the artists' creations not as a challenge to figuration, but as meditative objects inviting exploration of form and geometry.
