Parra & Romero is pleased to share a new short documentary video about the exhibition by Helmut Federle in Madrid. Produced in collaboration with Federle’s studio and Galerie Nächst St. Stephan, the film overviews the career of the artist and includes a brief explanation about the show at the gallery. Basics on Composition / Informal Multitudes examines Federle’s important contribution in the field of abstract contemporary painting and pretends to spark a discussion of the creative project that he has pursued with singular perseverance along the years. By showing paintings side by side with works on paper and photography, it highlights Federle’s understanding of abstraction: much more than the absence of representation, it emerges in the space as a continuum that is woven into his personal creative evolution and transcends cultural divides.
