fiebach, minninger is pleased to present NU ERA, the first solo exhibition by Düsseldorf and London based artist ChrisSucco at the gallery.The exhibition brings together two new series of paintings and initiates and reflects Succos newest artistic practices inwhich he turns mainly to two dimensional wall pieces. In addition to the programmatic focus on painting and its boundaries a coexisting “storyline” to his previous materials, techniques and motifs is recognizable. Through referring to hisartistic program he takes on the minimalistic and abstract rhetoric of his previous work but extends it formally and conceptually. The first series of paintings is reminiscent of Succos known work in which he paints over photographic paperwith layers of lacquer to create an abstract image space. The new paintings operate in a similar fashion, albeit this timewith black and white paint, which is sprayed directly onto aluminum panels. This produces ambivalent image systemsof abstract, rough surfaces and clear geometric shapes. Another self-reference is the use of the black shadow gap frames,which have become Succos trademark.
