OPENING RECEPTION AT LUMAS NEW YORK
GERHARD MANTZ – VIRTUAL LANDSCAPES
Dear friends of LUMAS,
After celebrating a huge success at LUMAS Miami, LUMAS New York is happy to present you Virtual Landscapes, a solo show of works by digital artist Gerhard Mantz.
OPENING RECEPTION: January 29 2009, 6pm
EXHIBITION DATES: January 29 2009 - March 10 2009
LUMAS NEW YORK
77 Wooster Street, 10012 New York, NY
Gerhard Mantz’s interpretations of landscape subjects do not necessarily aim to represent a geographical locale but rather to conjure a metaphor for a psychological state. The lush scenes are sculpted to evoke feelings and moods; the viewer enters the visual environment with immediate emotional responses.
At first glance the images appear realistic, in some cases even photographic, with inviting naturalistic details that lure and seduce. But, upon closer inspection, the seemingly realistic details shift to reveal a strange virtual realm more closely associated with an interior “reality” than with the exterior world.
We very much look forward to your visit!
