“Related Structures” presents Achim Sakic, the draftsman, and the sculptor and painter Frank Maier, whose oftentimes large paintings may be assigned to the realm of abstraction. At first sight, there is barely anything that connects both artists. And yet, this is exactly what their show at the Kienzle Art Foundation evokes: similarities, related structures. This is a direct invitation to the viewer to look closely and find out what is “behind the pictures.”
The Kienzle Art Foundation will publish a booklet with texts by Susanne Tietz (Museum Abteiberg Mönchengladbach) and Stephan Berg (Kunstmuseum Bonn) for the show.
Achim Sakic (* 1965, Klein-Zimmern, near Darmstadt) studied with Peter Dreher at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Karlsruhe/Freiburg from 1983–1990. He lives and works in Freiburg.
Frank Maier (* 1966, Stuttgart) after an apprenticeship as stonemason and stone sculptor, he studied sculpture from 1989 to 1995 with Werner Pokorny, Elisabeth Wagner, and Harald Klingelhöller at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Karlsruhe. He lives and works in Berlin.
