Opening: Friday April 4, 17 h.

Pressetext:

First Solo museum exhibition contemporary art; paintings, installation, video Bonzenspeck und Prollgehabe is the first solo museum exhibition of Kati Heck (Düsseldorf 1979). Kati Heck offers her comments on today’s society on monumental canvases, in installations, drawings and video work. With a no-holds-barred approach, the Antwerp-based artist subtly enshrines her observations in visual elements, compositions and art historical references. Often depicting herself or people she knows, Heck’s work is laden with burlesque-like imagery and challenges social and artistic conventions with drama and irony. With consummate ease and a childlike eye, Heck’s narrative, techniques and themes converge with a contained energy, producing confrontational paintings where formalism and fiction meet.
