Hell Gette

“Hell Gette’s works integrate the conflict between the analogue and the digital world playfully into the work process – “conflict” implicating not a critical, rather the original neutral meaning of the word “conflict”, suggesting an “impact”. This happens when the artist combines her findings on the internet and the connected digital tools – with the hand-drawn, the photographs taken with the mobile phone, the experimental prints or graphically (sometimes not so well) designed, bringing it all back to the traditional oil painting, thus reflecting a highly contemporary concept of painting and treating all media equally.

At the same time, Hell Gette’s paintings emphasize how strongly our experiences today are not only influenced by pictorial templates (of the arts, the movies, television, advertisement, social media, etc). Moreover, they show that even our feelings can be expressed by patterns or icons, letting the body go through a subtle estrangement from an immediate perception, providing that such a perception, in its pure form has ever existed. However, Hell Gette articulates this in her paintings rather as an observation than criticism.” [1]

We are happy to announce the artist’s first solo exhibition with our gallery. Hell Gette, born 1986 in Karabulak, Kazakhstan, lives and works in Munich.
