Martin Spengler's exhibition Creatio Ex Aliquo shows his new reliefs and sculptures shaped from corrugated cardboard blocks using his distinctive technique in which he paints with gesso, and then emphasizes the cut edges with graphite. His works invite us to reflect on the changes and ambivalences of German society over time and to engage with current issues of our coexistence.

Galerie Kornfeld is delighted to announce it's ten year anniversary exhibition, wich will feature the artists that have come along with us through the decade. The anniversary exhibition will reveal touching glimpses of the past and the future, sensitive and exciting exchanges between first artistic attempts and more mature works. The works on show hint at inner struggle and transformation, the eternal search for what is hidden behind the visible.

This is Martin Spengler’s first solo exhibition in Berlin, featuring sculptures and picture reliefs made of corrugated cardboard.
Martin Spengler finds the motifs for his works – contemporary cityscapes, skyscrapers, facades, towers and Gothic cathedrals – in image files and sketches that serve as models for detailed preliminary drawings. According to the artist, as soon as this “preliminary sketch” is completed, “the work is finished in the mind”. For him, the work of art is the “proof that it works”, produced from corrugated cardboard, glue and gesso (a chalky white paint) during a long creative process that may take weeks or months.
