Melissa Steckbauer – I, the hunter

Opening 29. Mai 2010 at 6 p.m.

After Show Party: DJ Stefan Havoc – 80s electro pop

Gallery Ulf Saupe presents the first solo exhibition in Berlin of the young American artist Melissa Steckbauer. The exhibition “I, the Hunter” showcases a new series of paintings on small paper formats and large canvases. Her paintings touch on intimate, sexually charged moments and fantasies. The opening takes place on the 29th of May 2010 at 6 p.m. in Ulf Saupe Gallery on Torstrasse 75.

Fable characters, people of daily life and exaggerated caricatures find their way into her works. The artist dramatizes and disarms the situations at the same moment. Through the infantilization of the main characters and through the tenderness in her paintings Steckbauer engages the human need for closeness.
