Catalogue | Ben Willikens

Cold - Chambers

The deserted oeuvre of the legendary rector of Munich’s Kunstakademie and master of aesthetics of empty sites engrosses the observer with its striking coldness.
The catalog presents about 50 works originating from the years between 1971 and 2021.
Although the individual is entirely absent, humans nevertheless take the center. The human being reflects itself in the painted objects: cages, keys, doors, stretchers, and lockers.
