Fassbender Stevens 312.666.4302

Fassbender Stevens Gallery is pleased to present German artist Jürgen Grölle in his second one person show.
 
Grölle, a contemporary abstractionist, is a painter who considers the complexities and contradictions of formalism. The performance of improvisational painting is always present in Grölle's work as he seeks with ardor the kind of picturing which is an alternative to the exponentially rapid development of the virtual world.
 
Jürgen applies bulging areas of paint straight from the tube in juxtaposition to his thin strips of monochrome color fields. A neo-expressionist landscape of sorts emerges. He establishes a visual system based on color, only to "attack" it with another color. This results in a provocative concentration of painterly events. Fields of gestural spontaneity exist in a fragile equilibrium. Contemporary hues, textures and finishes are at times awkward yet always jubilant. Continue to artwork...
