Thomas Scheibitz's 'Bright Shadows' solo exhibition opens at Sprüth Magers London
At their London gallery, Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are showcasing 'Bright Shadows,' a solo exhibition featuring both new and recent works by Thomas Scheibitz, created between 2017 and now. Scheibitz takes inspiration from daily life and art history, crafting vibrant paintings and enigmatic sculptures that reimagine familiar shapes into intricate forms. The exhibition's title, 'Bright Shadows,' highlights the often-ignored depiction of shadows, traditionally seen as composed of all colors in painting.
