Galerie Thomas Schulte is pleased to present About Us – an exhibition comprising two works by Richard Deacon in the Corner Space. The show brings together two distinct media that are fundamental for the artist: featuring an almost life-size stainless steel sculpture and a large, intricate black-and-white wall drawing. The works showcase Deacon’s mastery of material and medium, while offering a highly focused glimpse into two decades of his analytical form language and construction of aesthetic systems.
Through an interplay of surfaces, as well as orientational and directional shifts, there is a sense that things somehow repeat and yet always transform. Both the sculpture and drawing presented here are pared down in color; their lines and patterns are in conversation, contrasting and picking up on each other’s nuances and ambiguities.
