Ausstellung "Detlef Waschkau: Urban"

In the organizer's words:

The sculptor and painter Detlef Waschkau devotes himself to the traditional genre of the painted street scene with great persuasiveness and a high degree of topicality. The NRW Chamber of Architects (in cooperation with Galerie Bengelsträter) is showing the artist's latest works in the " Urban" exhibition in the foyer of its office in Düsseldorf's Medienhafen from September 25 to November 22, 2024.

Detlef Waschkau translates the familiar motif of life in the big city into the visual language of the 21st century and offers the viewer a lively image that addresses the permanent transformation and increasing uniformity of metropolises. In the ARCHITEKTENKAMMER.NRW, the Berlin-based artist will present his exhibits on the exposed concrete wall and in the foyer.

On the road in Europe and Japan, China and New York, Detlef Waschkau becomes a storyteller in his work, assembling urban living spaces from many motifs with great pleasure in detail. In his works, a "livestream" becomes visible, which lives in its energetic mixture of short sequences in the individual image layers. Waschkau's protagonists radiate individual dynamism and mobility. In Detlef Waschkau's work, the city mutates into a stage for a young generation that seems to glide weightlessly through architecture and topography.
