Jorn Grothkopp | Kim Baker
We are proud to present “Thoughts and Secret Gardens”, an exhibition by two emerging painters: British artist Kim Baker and East German painter Jorn Grothkopp. The exhibition presents a collection of paintings that explore the abstract ideal of purity via the concept of the garden as an idealised, meditative space.
Kim Baker’s paintings capture all the intrigue and mystery of magical fairytale gardens. Using a layering process in oils she builds up a visual density that half-hides the forms in her paintings – marks come together to suggest a flower, a leaf or a clearing, and then flow out of representation into lush abstract brushstrokes and colour-play.

merizing quality. Working from isolated segments of photographs, he fazes out all supermerizing quality. Working from isolated segments of photographs, he fazes out all superfluous detail to create a concentrated, essential image, which he then reproduces through carefully composed painted colour planes. These paintings teeter right on the far edge of figuration – the subtlety and economy of detail, combined with the balance and intensity of colour, make them stark, clean, but also subtly luminous and absorbing. Jorn Grothkopp is a German artist gaining an increasingly established profile in his native country, having had previous shows in Galerie Deschler & Hamish Morrison Gallery (Berlin), and Galerie Hartwich (Sellin, Germany).
