What is it to stand inside and look at the sky through a window? What is it to look at the windows from the outside, and see the sky as merely a reflection in the panes of glass?

In his third solo show at Klemens Gasser & Tanja Grunert, Bart Domburg re-sees the sky through the grid of the human paradigm. In eight paintings depicting Berlin’s cityscape windows, Domburg confronts the beauty and horror of the new landscape. Domburg’s literal viewpoint, that of a pedestrian standing on the street, signifies a common experience of seeing the world, the sky, reflected in the valley-like windows of the avenues.

Bart Domburg, born in 1957 in Zwolle, The Netherlands, lives and works in Berlin and Amsterdam. His work has been exhibited worldwide since 1981.
