Karin Weber Gallery is proud to announce renowned German artist Willi Siber’s first solo show in Asia since the pandemic, his fifth with the gallery.

‘Masterclass’ sees a continuation of this versatile artist’s uncompromising commitment to pure abstraction and exploration of materials, always pushing limits of form, light, colour and space. His vibrant, tactile creations continue to offer challenges in interpretation as Siber teases the viewer’s expectations and perspectives with ‘objects’ that intersect boundaries between picture, installation and sculpture.
Works in this show include new takes on some established favourites, such as Siber’s classic oval- and brick-shaped Wall Objects, now executed in metallic varnishes across indented surfaces to offer a quasi- holographic visual effect.

Innovative themes and materials result from years of experimentation across all elements of Siber’s practice. Round, wall mounted pieces are based on satellite maps of planet topographies recorded by NASA, introducing an astronomically themed line of work. Matt white pieces provide a striking departure from Siber’s ongoing embrace of colour and light; instead, they offer a powdery, calm antithesis to the vibrancy of Siber’s regular oeuvre. The introduction of bronze as a new material allows the artist to re-imagine some of his favourite shapes in more compact sizes, with a uniquely precious texture and energy.
