Daniel Richter: My Lunatic Neighbar Space K

Kolon group’s art and culture sharing place ‘Space K Seoul’ presents a solo exhibition of Daniel Richter(b.1962), one of the most prominent artists representing contemporary art in Germany. Spending his 20s with a vast interest in social movements and music, Richter studied at the HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg(1991-1995) after the fall of the Berlin Wall, firmly establishing his career as an artist. His abstract painting in the 1990s transitioned to figurative paintings entering the new millennium, where various figures reflected the social conflicts and absurdities through his own perspective. The exhibition ‘My Lunatic Neighbar’ introduces 25 works, from the figurative paintings in the early 2000s to the most recent works transitioning between abstraction and figuration. This exhibition will provide an opportunity to look into Daniel Richter’s art world over the past 20 years, where his style developed by critically reacting to politics, society, culture, and art.
