Drawing the Unrepresentable

by Gerhard Mayer

Thursday 2 Aug 2012, 16:00 → 17:00 Europe/Zurich

Library, 52 1-052 (CERN)

CERN Library and Collide@CERN present artist Gerhard Mayer 
 

Walls and floors are the surfaces on which the German artist Gerhard Mayer
draws large scale works. From art galleries to public buildings in Europe
and the US, including even churches, Gerhard Mayer makes site-specific
drawings, with energetic flowing lines of ink. He is particularly
attracted to drawing clouds, twisted swirls, shapes and eddies,
reflecting flow in the micro and macro world.
He also works in sculpture and painting too, creating complex puzzles and
collages with an intensity reminiscent of Brueghel.

On the occasion of his visit to CERN curated by Arts@CERN, Gerhard Mayer
will talk about his love of drawing, his attraction to making work in
public spaces and present his work for Nürnbergs Neues Museum called LHC.
