Nicholas Bodde Opening Exhibition

Gallery Sonja Roesch is pleased to present the German artist Nicholas Bodde. The exhibition “Color Rhythm” will open with a reception on Saturday, June 11 from 5-7 p.m. and will run until August 27, 2016.

Nicholas Bodde’s concept is in the tradition of European constructivism as well as Color Field Painting. He uses lacquered aluminum to create hard-edge abstractions that are beautiful in their simplicity and in their richness of color. Contrary to the outer geometric dimensions of his paintings related to constructivism, the color choice is done intuitively. Bodde devotes himself to color, channeled into systematically constructed parallel lines and fields that spread across the polychrome picture base. He chooses strong contrasts and colors. Nicholas Bodde (b. 1962 in New York) received his formal education from the University of Arts in Bremen (1989) and has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows across the world, including venues such as the Yeh Gallery in Seoul, Planat Art Gallery in Capetown, South Africa, Galerie Lahumiere in Paris and ArtBasel, several galleries in Germany, and the Mardi Museum, Dallas, Texas, among many others. He currently lives and works in Bremen, Germany.
