PULSE Los Angeles 2011

Katrin Korfmann, Torsten Ruehle, Kim Schoenstadt

September 30, 2011 - October 3, 2011

Opening: Friday September 30, 2011

Pulse Los Angeles at:
The Event Deck / L.A. Live
1005 West Chick Hearn Court
Downtown Los Angeles

September 30 - October 3, 2011


As a painter, Torsten Ruehle is trying to change the world. He takes high-energy images, originating from the newspaper, from other painter's paintings and very often from movie stills. He reinvents their subject with titles hinting to religious and political statements. Based on these initial images, the artist remakes a deconstructed light, sometimes surreal arrangement, modifying and adding new elements to the scene. Even after many transformations, the filmy charateristics of his work still remain, or even have been emphasized.


Since a few years, Katrin Korfmann has been making a body of work captured in the overall title 'Count for Nothing', which gradually developed from sophisticated scenes to more socio-critical observations. She spots and collects images of contemporary life in the city, be it Africa, Europe, Asia, or the United States of America. Her work is about life, contemporary notes in a diary. Random people become the actors in her play and often, by the elevated position of the camera, they almost become abstract dashes in a painting.


Kim Schoenstadt lives and works in Los Angeles. In her recent projects she combines ways of thinking about architecture and drawing, she is elegantly twisting our ideas on form and function, technique and image. Her works are a perfect example of mixed media becoming a technique on it's own. The graphic styles she uses are also a mixture. It sometimes appears a background, or small detail is borrowed, sometimes parts of texts are layered in between the images and even then the result is unmistakably a work by Kim Schoenstadt. At Pulse Los Angeles 2011 we will be showing a study for a mural and works on paper.
