Etienne Pottier: They Live

Urban Spree Galerie proudly invites you to the vernissage of the first german solo show of French artist Etienne Pottier. Entitled 'They Live', the exhibition will display Etienne Pottier's most recent body of works, specially crafted for his Berlin solo exhibition.

Using the artistic medium of gravure on metal, Etienne Pottier delves into his underground experience and memories to impress usually morbid images on used fabrics.

Based on his personal experience of techno free parties & underground sound systems, anti-fascist punk and black metal culture, Etienne Pottier translates and carves the energy and vitality captured on the different scenes as well as its strong death appeal, using skulls as his artistic trademark.

This 'materia prima' is then transformed, alchemized into a universal form of art.

Life and death. Time-resistant metal plates and fragile fabrics. Noble technics, vernacular experience.

Etienne Pottier captures random and personal energies and transmits the fragile echo of life pulsing through the dense morbidity.

Vernissage on May 2nd, 2013 with the presence of the artist.

Exhibition May 3rd to May 25th, 2013
Dienstag bis Samstag, 12:00-18:00
