Wilkommen ins Leipzig - Spinnerei

Matias Bechtold - Filipp Rosbach Galerie

Berlin born artist Matias Bechtold is currently showing his latest works which continue his ongoing pursuit of the modern utopian metropolis at the Filipp Rosbach Galerie in the Spinnerei. His sole use of corrugated cardboard as an artistic medium, has allowed him to gain an unprecedented understanding of the medium allowing him to execute his architectural landscapes with a level of craftsmanship that both explicitly illustrates the reality/alienation of modern urban life.

Additionally his works through such intricate detail and precision manage to transport one into a condensed reality, lost within their minutiae. Although the concept behind his works is fairly basic, it is the display of the artist as master craftsman which makes his works so effective, something that more and more is not so clearly visible within the contemporary art world.
