The Saatchi Gallery provides an innovative forum for contemporary art, presenting work by largely unseen young artists or by international artists whose work has been rarely or never exhibited in the UK.
'Trauernde 2008' Markus Selg
Among others of Selgs figures, this sculpture appealed to me; mainly because of the expressionless features in the face. However the body of the piece tells a story in itself.
'Ahnenbild2411 2011' Andre Butzer
Butzer's oil piece aesthetically I lack an appreciation for. It's the technique that I like. I've always found thick paint on canvas appealing, and Butzer's work is so thick it is more a sculpture of paint, crafted onto canvas.
'Kinder Filmen 1 2005' Isa Genzken
Some of the works which stood out in the gallery were pieces which used something other than a canvas as material to put work on. This abstract piece was very interesting as it was made on mirror, being able to see yourself behind the paint had a huge effect on me.
'Barriere 2010' Thomas Kiesewetter
In the Saatchi Gallery there were also many sculptures, this piece was a main sculpture which stood out, I think because of the material. Kieswetter has used sheet metal and steel here, which by no means is an easy medium to use.
