💫 SAVE THE DATE : MATTHIAS HERRMANN @ SPARK 2025
SPARK Art Fair Vienna 2025
21. – 23. March 2025
Vernissage: March 20, 2025
MARX HALLE Vienna
Matthias Herrmann
From the series „Textpieces, 1996-1998“, 1997
C-Print on aluminium, UV-glas
100 x 80 cm / 98 x 118 cm
Matthias Herrmann, a former ballet dancer turned photographic artist, explores themes of still-life, urban imagery, and the human body. His work, initially focused on gender and self-representation, has evolved into a broader exploration of visual perception and memory. Rather than documenting locations, he presents fragmented impressions, drawing inspiration from art history and museum spaces. His photography turns these „finds“ into images that gain meaning through his perception. The exhibition presents a retrospective of his work, featuring around 150 photographs that highlight his layered and reflective artistic approach.

soli kiani, liberty (self-portrait), 2022, gelatin silver print mounted on aluminium, 150 x 100 cm, 2/5 + 2 ap
clemens wolf, parachute painting, resin epoxy, parachute 103 x 93 cm
soli kiani, born 1981 in shiraz, iran, studied in christian ludwig attersee's painting master class at the university of applied arts in vienna. to embody her intentions, she will explore further materials and technics such as analogue photography, fabric, concrete, ropes to create pictures, sculptures and installations. soli kiani grew up in iran and experienced childhood and adolescence as a woman in an isolated, patriarchal, strictly religious where much that we take for granted was and still is - and recently, even more radically - prohibited. in her photographic self portrait "liberty (self- portrait)" from 2022, soli kiani brings together central aspects of her work : vulnerability and strength, economy of means and intensity. in what are dubbed her plastic paintings and later her sculptures, she soaks pieces of linen fabric, folds them, piled them up on concrete slabs, compresses them, and encloses them to give them their final shapes. they contain reminiscences of ambivalences such as that of clothing, which protects, isolates, or confines. it is about revelation and concealment, coercion and liberation.

clemens wolf, born in 1981 in vienna, austria, studied at the university of art and industrial design in linz. he is fascinated by boundaries: boundaries of perception, boundaries of imagination, boundaries of the possible. originally active in the street art scene, he starts painting on canvas by working with a focus on dumps, abandoned warehouses, unfinished buildings, ruins, or vacant lots. from these two- dimensional works, he made the leap into sculpture and plastic-painting. "perhaps there is a need in painting to leave the canvas and become sculpture [...]", wrote gilles deleuze about the characteristic of baroque. for his parachute paintings and parachute sculptures, clemens wolf uses discarded main and reserve parachutes, which he arranges into folds on canvas on the wall or in space and freezes with dyed epoxy resin. the textures appear soft, as if one could smooth out or reshape the folds at any moment but the folds are hard, immobile, and rendered unchangeable by the epoxy. wolf's works play with the viewer's perception. the questions of narration & abstraction, irreversibility and transience are central in wolf ́s oeuvre.
