“because I am human”
4 November 2022 until 5 March 2023
Martin Assig (born 1959) creates abstract, often colorful and powerful works with the ancient technique of encaustic, the wax painting. His works always deal with the human being and the conditions of his being. The physical existence as well as its threat belong to Assig's range of themes as well as philosophical- religious questions or the resilience of man. The MKM is showing a comprehensive exhibition of the artist's work with around 90 works from the 1990s to the present, including a variety of large-format panel paintings as well as numerous works on paper.

Marc Mulders at the DE PONT Museum
"In addition to other works by Mulders, the recently acquired monumental painting Hunt for Paradise (Hope) 19.09.20 (2020) will be exhibited for the first time. This canvas is part of a striking series in his oeuvre where ominous black forms bring tension to the paradisal atmosphere and create a fusion, as it were, of 'bloom' and 'doom'.
The work came about during the pandemic, when Mulders discovered that contaminated soil was being illegally dumped on the Oostelbeers country estate where he lives and works. Now, two years later, the painting more generally became a symbol of the current criseses in the world. It is being shown with three preparatory sketches and in relation to earlier work from the collection."

Michael Markwick – Sleeper Rising
“Like all art, this painting is best seen in person, because it is difficult to capture with a camera lens the light passing through the transparent areas of this work on silk. “Sleeper Rising” shows a figure climbing out of a spring-green earth. I painted this piece in January 2020, right as Covid-19 was spreading. It feels a bit strange to keep stating whether this is a pre-pandemic painting or not, but it also seems important somehow, perhaps because the skeletal architecture in the work reflects our current moment. The image has become charged.
The fragility in these new works was meant to mirror an intimate, tenuous relationship with nature. The figure in the work, while abstract, rises in a mood of hope and transformation. If you look carefully, you can see a reference to a second figure in the lower half of the painting.”

Framed Process – Lucy Teasdale
“I want to go back to basics and work to develop new forms in clay. A phrase often heard recently is “In these unprecedented times…”. I want to take this moment to look back at other turning points in history, for example 1848, the year of revolutions. As a starting point I’ll take an image of a ragged-trousered standard bearer, waving his flag in an enormous circle. I want to carry on this movement and make a sculpture built around a spiral. Perhaps it will be possible to repeat the figures, to pile on top of one another to create a swirling totem pole of revolutionary figures.”

Featured Artwork:
Michael Markwick – Tree Hugger
“Tree Hugger” shows an abstracted skeletal figure merging with the top of a pine tree that is radiating light. The term “tree hugger ” is often used negatively by the political right to refer to someone who is an environmental activist. It can also be understood as a loving embrace of nature. I wanted to reclaim this term to depict the positive relationship to nature. Here, I hoped the figure would become almost saint-like. The painting walks a line between political, spiritual, and romantic ideas.
In making this work (and others in the exhibition), I cut wood forms and printed them on the silk, creating a variety of surfaces, forms, and hard and soft edges. If you look carefully, you will see that sections of the frame are painted, in order to create more depth behind the silk. I wanted light to travel through the thin washes of paint and bounce back to the eyes of the viewer. Other moments in the painting show a heavier build-up of sand and glass, both reflecting light. The painting should be dynamic, shifting as the viewer walks around it.
