until 11.01. | #4490ARTatBerlin | Crone Berlin present from 16. November 2024 (Vernissage: 15.11.) the exhibition Knallzart with the works of the aritsts Emmanuel Bornstein, Clemens Krauss and Robert Muntean.
The opening of the exhibition ‘Knallzart’ by Emmanuel Bornstein, Clemens Krauss and Robert Muntean will take place on 15 November 2024 at Crone Berlin. On display are new paintings that explore the themes of identity, intimacy and physicality.
Bornstein, Krauss, and Muntean studied painting at German art academies in the 2000s, but each has followed a stylistically distinct path. Bornstein sees himself in the tradition of a figurative-deconstructivist expressionism, influenced by Francis Bacon. Krauss is known for his thick, impastoed layers of paint, often several centimeters deep, while Robert Muntean captivates with a very even, harmonious brushstroke that follows musical rhythms.
Though their approaches may appear vastly different at first glance, their works and artistic practices are deeply intertwined. The three artists are not only close friends and all based in Berlin, but they also share a common affinity for figuration and a focus on similar themes in their practice: Bornstein, Krauss, and Muntean’s works consistently reflect a preoccupation with societal processes, addressing aspects such as loneliness, isolation, massification, and both inner and outer violence.
Knallzart is the first joint exhibition of the three artists. It explores the central theme of their work: the dehumanization of the present moment—and the eternal longing for its opposite in the future.
Vernissage: Friday, 15 November 2024, 19:00 – 21:00
