Edward Mapplethorpes first solo exhibition in Berlin continues his formal exploration of line by combining the gestural impulses of action painting with the mechanical processes of the photographic medium. Alternately using hair and hand applied pigment as mark-making devices, the artist shifts between the paradigms of control and randomness that have structured and tempered his work to reach a new level of complexity. The result is a spiritual and organic balance between chaos and order encompassing a stunning visual range spanning from the intricate delicacy of fleeting lines to bold, graphic tangles of color.
These unique works are solely created in the darkroom without the use of cameras. The series provide an insight into the artists history as a photographer who continually pushes the boundaries of the photographic process. His progression encompasses groups of unique black & white lith prints, unique chromogenic prints and a related edition of lithographs.
