Katharina Otto: Behind The Wall of Sleep @401contemporary (January 23 – March 6, 2010)
From the press release:
Katharina Otto’s paintings convey a dark, mystical atmosphere. Hints of traditional pictorial themes unfold, usually in small wooden formats: Models of female nudes, depicted from behind kneeling at a well or with the shadowy shape of a swan in her lap, semi-abstract landscapes or figures on which only arms or a head are visible. The sombre color palette combines ochre, violet, black and red tones, which are sometimes carefully blended and other times left to appear rough.
