Streets of Gold – Markus Merkle

From Germany to Omaha comes Markus Merkle as the Peerless Gallery’s next exhibiting artist. Merkle works in a variety of media, including sculpture, video, and two-dimensional work as well. He appears to make a lot of installation work, which is what you could expect from this exhibition. From the Peerless website:

“Repetition plays an important role in the work of Markus Merkle. However, he pushes to the extreme his conceived principles by chance. In his dot drawings he meticulously puts one dot next to the other and with a turn of the paper a new pattern is gradually developed.

In another artwork “Pollard,” he works more narratively, when he reminds us of the legendary whale hunter, Pollard, and the novel, Moby Dick. Slanting poles, from floor to ceiling show hand imprints and point towards the quest for stability and security.”
