Zwei und einer mit Hut 2024

bodies 2023/24

Fortschritt 2023

Fortschritt is based on a single sketch of a close friend, that exits the room. Playing with the German word for „progress“, that can also be read as „step away“, these works on paper ask a question: go on, or turn away? The highly topical problem of unquestioned progress is in the center of the artist’s research. When is enough?

Gleisi 2022/23

In his series Gleisi ( short for Gleisdreieck Park, a park in direct neighborhood of the artist’s home) Tim Leimbach sketches Impressions of its daily life. Without putting an emphasis on exact documentation, these larger scale works derive from impulsively thrown down paint. Stains, traces of lines become bodies that are twisting, bending and drifting apart in leisure activities.

Birds 2022

Birds is the body of work succeeding the earlier series of foxes, which dealt with a disfigured stuffed fox, found in the studio at UdK Berlin. Having an open eye for the often overseen details on his way to the studio, the artist took inspiration from a sun dried, conserved body of a fallen chick. In the space between shock, disgust and empathy, Birds invites us to take a closer look at the beauty and ugliness of life, that manages to coexist with us in metropoles like Berlin.
