Location: Sammlung Falckenberg

The exhibition presents works by American artist Joyce Pensato (1941–2019), who reinterpreted iconic figures from pop culture such as Batman, Mickey Mouse and Homer Simpson. Her work combines the visual language of American comics with abstract expressionism, a formative art movement of the New York School. Pensato's monochrome color palette of black and white is characterized by blurred, scraped and reapplied layers that give the figures a dynamic and at the same time fragile presence. Various techniques ranging from mural painting to lacquer on canvas to charcoal drawings are on display. The exhibition at the Falckenberg Collection in Hamburg offers a profound insight into Pensato’s unique fusion of pop culture and abstract painting, which breaks down and redefines the boundaries between the two worlds.
