Those looking to watch a new star light up on the art horizon have a great opportunity. Simon Schubert, a talented German artist, invites everyone to his one-man exhibition of stunning paper paintings and installations at Upstairs Berlin until July 27th.
From a distance, they resemble rectangular white canvases. And only at a distance of less than two meters, Simon Schubert's works fully reveal their three-dimensional structure to the audience. In the process of the most complex work of folding, folding, pushing paper, the German sculptor creates lines, corners and even circles that can stand out above the surface by only a few millimeters. With the right lighting, we have an unexpected view of houses with coffered ceilings, long corridors, staircases and hallways with huge mirrors. In the creation of his relief paper installations, Simon Schubert, whose work was greatly influenced by Samuel Beckett, raises such age-old themes as loneliness, isolation, solitude, loss.
Simon Schubert holds his solo exhibition in Berlin in an area of 78 square meters. In a huge room, the walls and ceiling were completely covered with paper patterned and embossed panels. Inside there are strange little black statues that contrast with the snow-white canvases, the Sami, making the relief drawing more expressive.
In 2008 Simon Schubert was awarded the Phoenix-ZVAB Art Prize.
