BATTLEGROUND STUDIO ADRIAN GHENIE - THE WORKS O...

Adrian Ghenie is one of the most acclaimed artists of his generation. He is interested in the
dangers and catastrophes caused by the ideologies of the 20th century  which the artist
describes as the century of "humiliation." The gloomy setting of his paintings and the deformed
figures reveal the physical and psychological injuries caused by dictatorship and war. In the
group of current charcoal drawings  Ghenie transfers his theme to the present and deals with
the effects of digital media on people. The now extensive oeuvre of drawings and collages plays
a central role in the pictorial alienation through motif montage and abstraction  which is
presented for the first time in the Dresden Kupferstich-Kabinett in its development from the
beginnings to the present day. Adrian Ghenie (*1977 in Baia Mare  Romania)  is one of the most
celebrated painters of his generation. His work is considered "posthumously born" in the
Nietzschean sense  blending past influences with contemporary themes. Ghenie is known for
merging personal  political  and art historical themes  combining abstract and figurative
elements  and exploring the possibilities of his medium. He draws on personal memories  art
historical references  film stills  and internet visuals.
