Isabelle Heske & René Radomsky: Delicate Matters, Darling!

The 2-person exhibition featuring Isabelle Heske (1990 Düsseldorf, lives in Berlin) and René Radomsky (1989 Nuremberg, where he currently lives), brings together two artistic approaches stemming from painting and exploring various ways of working with surfaces.

In her works, Isabelle Heske uses textile materials from various sources and of different textures. By cutting, sewing, and assembling these materials, she creates multilayered vehicles for imagery raising questions about fragmentation, interconnectedness, and materiality.  The individual fabrics retain their unique characteristics while simultaneously entering new contexts.

The works of René Radomsky derive from his work as a tattoo artist. In his artistic practice, he translates aspects of this work into other media and contexts. In doing so, he focuses not only on designing surfaces, but also on physically penetrating them. Drawing, traces, and inscription are made visible as processes that oscillate between controlled and random elements.

The exhibition brings together two approaches that treat the surface as both a material boundary and a site of transformation.
