With texts by Sonja Klee and Ludwig Seyfarth.
In her newest artist book, sculptor Sabine Groß presents her work from 2008- to the present.
"The art of Sabine Groß has a comic element, or, better still, an ironic element to it. Irony speaks through her works as they reflect and perform reality without being “real” themselves. Their materials and presentation are not congruent, but rather correspond in their contradiction. Instead of using what seems to be stone or metal, Gro. works with epoxy or acrylic resin and polystyrene. A painted canvas is, in fact, an image made from acrylic resin and paint. A battered book sculpture is actually a two-dimensional ditone print. Shot through, cut up, exploded, or partially burnt, charred books about art, collapsing canvasses, paper works that are singed and torn, crumbling frames, gaping white cubes, a sticky, oozing “Blue Period,” etc. – the surfaces are pure trompe-l’oeil, meticulously produced by the artist to achieve the perfect illusion, which is only evident upon close inspection." - (Sonja Klee, Kunstverein Schwäbisch Hall)
This is Sabine Groß’s second catalogue published by argobooks.
