Katinka Bock, Miriam Cahn, Franz Erhard Walther, Elodie Seguin, Prinz Gholam, Colette Brunschwig Westbund Art & Design 2024

Booth A117

For the 2024 edition of West Bund Art & Design, Galerie Jocelyn Wolff is pleased to present a curated selection of works by six artists from its program. This November in Shanghai, audiences will experience pieces by French artists Colette Brunschwig and Elodie Seguin, alongside works by Miriam Cahn, Franz Erhard Walther, Katinka Bock, and the duo Prinz Gholam.

The booth will offer multiple layers of dialogue, ranging from the overall concept to more intimate interactions between specific artists and their works.

The historically significant paintings of Colette Brunschwig engage in a profound dialogue with the work of young French artist Elodie Seguin, creating a rich exchange between lyrical and geometrical abstraction. Brunschwig, part of a generation of French female painters active in the Parisian art scene since World War II and influenced by Chinese literati, explores the "third dimension" in drawing. Through her use of ink, she seeks to transcend the paper, both physically and philosophically. Elodie Seguin, in turn, uses paper as a tool to experiment with space, volume, color, and form. Her artworks provoke reflection on existence and absence, fullness and emptiness, materiality and immateriality.

Miriam Cahn’s work will be presented to Chinese audiences through a journey of her historical and recent landscape drawings. In response, Franz Erhard Walther’s Terra Sigillata series will offer a minimalist counterpoint, exploring landscapes through both drawing and the incorporation of written words. Continuing this dialogue, Prinz Gholam’s new series of colored pencil drawings extend the conversation in a more performative way across the walls. Meanwhile, Katinka Bock’s sculptures gracefully serve as both intermediaries and interlocutors within this spatial exchange.
