Isa Genzken was born on 1948 in Bad Oldesloe and currently lives and Works in Berlin, Germany.Urlaub possesses a ridiculous elegance, caught between high design and holiday festivity. Drawing from the Minimalist concept of objective abstraction, Genzken’s work straddles the spheres of formalist purity and narrative interpretation. Entrenched in the process of making, Genzken’s work is the result of her own intimate interaction with materials, tempering the procedure of formal decision-making with the spontaneity of imaginative play. Kitsch objects such as plastic leaves, figurines, and an oversized wine glass carry their own associative references while operating as neutral compositional elements of shape, colour, and texture. Urlaub exudes escapist fantasy while retaining a refined order, culminating as surreal microcosm of caprice vs. rationale.
