Sabine Moritz's First UK Museum Show Opens at Garden Museum, London

Sabine Moritz, a German artist, is showcasing her inaugural extensive museum exhibition in the UK, titled Lie Down in Green Pastures, at the Garden Museum in London, which will be open until 20 December. This exhibition highlights three decades of her artistic journey, including early works like the Institute I and Institute II paintings from 1993, created during her studies at the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf, along with previously unseen botanical drawings. Curated by Emma House, the display features pieces inspired by Robert Capa's 1947 photographs of Ukraine, particularly a recurring child figure that Moritz identifies as her alter ego. Recent abstract works, such as Melancholy of the Wind, portray women in a state of self-forgetfulness amidst dreamlike landscapes. Moritz, raised in Neulobeda, East Germany, has shifted her focus from memory to present understanding. The exhibition title alludes to Psalm 23, specifically the phrase 'er weidet mich auf einer grünen Aue' from the Lutheran Bible. Moritz highlights the need to reconsider our relationship with nature, addressing issues of environmental decline. Pilar Corrias, London, supports the exhibition.
