Skarstedt London is delighted to announce Burning, Cutting, Nailing an exhibition exploring the dual approach of destruction and creation in iconic works by modern masters including Alberto Burri, Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein and Günther Uecker. Rejecting established modes of representation, the works featured in the exhibition exemplify the artists' shared concern with revising their practice in order to respond to a new social reality following the brutality and violence of World War II. Through their use of incisive methods of production, be it burning, cutting or nailing, the artists challenge the notion of flatness as a condition of painting, and give rise to a new creative freedom by opening up the picture plane to space, light and movement.
