Contemporary Art: Icebergs & More By Ulf Puder @ Marc Straus Gallery New York


 (Drivebycuriosity) - Marc Straus Gallery on Manhattan´s Grand Street belongs to New York`s most ambitious art places. I have seen there many wonderful exhibitions. This week I saw a show with paintings by Ulf Puder, a leading and influential artist in the Leipzig painting movement (marcstraus ).

 


 

According to the press release "Ulf Puder, a landscape artist for 20 years, looks at the genre as a cultural concept, defining it as a clash between nature and culture. In his invented landscapes, he addresses cultural and political developments across Europe".

 



On top of this post you can see "Kleine Winterlandschaft" (2022, Oil on canvas). Above this paragraph follow   "The Icebergs" (2022
Oil on canvas) & "Grosser Eisberg"
(2022
Oil on canvas).

 


Above you can see "Großer Felsen". The press release says: "The rock, symbolic and powerful, signifies protection while also reflecting the broken state of the new world order. In addressing this dichotomy, the natural strength of the rock, millions of years unchanged, now begins to crumble with human intervention".
