Ritual and Improvisation
Late works by Hermann Nitsch
The Peres Projects Gallery in Seoul is presenting a selection of late works by Hermann Nitsch. The large-format paintings and smaller works on paper captivate with their bright, sometimes even garish colors. The application of the paint is impasto, almost sculptural. Anyone who remembers Nitsch’s art as a gloomy, poured-out canvas will be surprised by the cheerfulness and joyful power of these late works.
