Hyperrealist Artist: Paintings and Drawings

100 days 100 galleries; Day 48: Galerie Thomas Schulte, Berlin Germany

Since it was established in 1991, Galerie Thomas Schulte’s ongoing focus has been placed on nurturing, supporting, and sustaining outstanding and inspiring artistic positions in international conceptual art spanning from the 1960’s to the present.

Carlos Fentanes (CF): Matt Mullican’s installation amazed me, at the beginning I didn’t understand quite well the scale and proportions of the banners.
I wish I could visit your gallery to see the show.

Galerie Thomas Schulte (TS): Thank you very much!
The banners were on display at the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin in 1995 and are also at Thomas Schütte’s Skulpturenhalle.

CF: But not just the banners, the works that you posted on your Instagram look very interesting.

OK, should I confess that I haven’t been in Berlin and in consequence I’ve never been at the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin? So I don’t know exactly what are they talking about but I imagine for the name that it should be a remarkable achievement.
I started this conversation with one idea on mind: I need to contact a gallery in Berlin because there’s a lot of visitors from Germany in my website, this one was the first that appeared in my Instagram feed news. Now, I should talk about something interesting and something that the gallery is passionate about so I found this banners and when I saw the video of the installation I surprised me the size of this elements and how well they fit in their place.

At the end the introduction works, and they answer my comment and that is the important part, from here I can start to do comments in their posts and they will know who am I or at least they’ll have a reference.
