Isa Melsheimer Nr. 465, 2020
Gouache on paper
70 x 100 cm (unframed)
79 x 109 x 4 cm (framed)
From a new series of large-scale gouaches, this work depicts the interior of a building with a central cylindrical shape of reddish drapes. The image draws on a project by the Dutch architecture firm Inside Outside that in 2011-12 introduced several textile and landscape interventions into the celebrated Maison Bordeaux originally constructed in 1994-98 by Rem Koolhaas' firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture, known as OMA. The colorful tiled floor draws on an Italian old master painting in Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie.
