Johannes Wohnseifer Paintings and Exhibitions at the Saatchi GalleryJohannes Wohnseifer presents the fictitious elements of an attempted assassination. Based on the story of the man who tried to kill president Ronald Reagan - John Hinckley – it presents him as pleading 'not guilty' based on the fact that he saw the movie 'Taxi Driver' by Martin Scorsese so many times that it was an 'Irresistible Impulse' for him to try to kill the president of the United States. Martina Steckholzer Paintings and Exhibitions at the Saatchi GalleryMartina Steckholzer’s paintings offer a poetic ambience suggesting an infinite nothingness of space. Working from video footage filmed in art galleries, air fairs, studios, and museums, she isolates frames that capture the in-between spaces, unusual angles, and overlooked vantages of familiar generic places. Thomas Scheibitz a German Artist at the Saatchi GalleryThomas Scheibitz's vast canvases can be an unsettling experience: the brightly colored surfaces of his paintings manage simultaneously to convey unbridled energy and leave one inexplicably cold. It is precisely this paradox that enables the German artist to so successfully evoke the malaise of contemporary culture. Marlene Dumas a German Artist at the Saatchi GalleryMarlene Dumas presents a corruption of innocence. Her portrayal of a young child with its clothes lifted over its head immediately gives way to dark thoughts of sexuality and exploitation. The controversy isn't in the images Marlene Dumas paints, but in the way they're subverted by an implied knowingness, a blatant confrontation with a natural reality and its discomforts.Marlene Dumas makes paintings with no concept of the taboo. Luc Tuymans a German Artist at the Saatchi GalleryLuc Tuymans's paintings delve into the inner workings of how mythology is created. The reality of Luc Tuymans's work is almost 'twee', pleasing images of a lampshade or leopard-skin rug pass quite comfortably as aesthetic totems; it's only their cognitive association with the Holocaust, or atrocities of the Belgian Congo, that encapsulates the true banality of evil - the unspeakable horror in a teacup, the monstrous potential of an empty bath. Johannes Wohnseifer a German Artist at the Saatchi GalleryJohannes Wohnseifer’s paintings hijack ready-made cultural signifiers and reassemble them as invented logos. Both comically absurd and ideologically threatening, his paintings infuse the frivolity of advertising with an underlying propaganda and cultural hierarchy. About Tal R and His ArtTal R's paintings have a hippy-trippy feel about them, a crafty flash-back to the 60's. Wilfully child-like, his work is infused with a bygone esteem of innocence, often incongruous with the sophistication of his adult subject matter About Isa Genzken Painting'sIsa Genzken’s work is the result of her own intimate interaction with materials, tempering the procedure of formal decision-making with the spontaneity of imaginative play.Isa Genzken. View art work,selected exhibitions and paintings of artist Isa Genzken at The Saatchi Gallery - London contemporary art gallery. Collection of Paintings and Exhibitions of Artist Jorg ImmendorffJorg Immendorff presents an allegory of creation surrounded by heroes of ideological importance, an onion springs forth from a richly fertile womb. Jorg Immendorff once said that painting ‘has the function of a potato'. Here it's reborn in the multilayered richness of ideological and intellectual nourishment. Artist Thoralf Knobloch : I Want to be ArtistThoralf Knobloch works the subject and any suggestion of narrative become secondary to the formal elements of the painting View art work,selected exhibitions and paintings of artist Thoralf Knobloch at The Saatchi Gallery - London contemporary art gallery.
