Artist Johannes Kahrs has an outstanding solo show at Parasol Unit, a foundation for contemporary art in London. If you are an art lover and like painting or beautifull pastel drawings you should check out this exhibition. Kahrs takes a photo, a video projection or a film still as the starting point of his drawings and oil paintings. He catches fragments of images of politics, show biz, and advertising to reform, re-interpret, and further fictionalise the represented idea by shifting tones and gradations of grey and black pastel, leaving contours blurred. As he experiments with the original from of the image, he detaches the picture from its original meaning. Hence, he finishes with an almost unrecognisable representation and completely new recording of reality. His work is suggestive and impressive, yet particularly ghostly and mysterious. more info: Johannes Kahrs at Zeno X Gallery
