Nina Mambourg

Description

A blonde woman with wavy hair sits on a modern leather armchair. She gazes with a dreamy smile towards a hand mirror or into the emptiness. Her heel stands on a checkered cowhide that resembles a map. The window in the background opens the view to an icy landscape under a full moon. The designer lamp appears as an observing eye or like a solar eclipse in the room. Is this about self-staging and appearances, or does this portrait reflect the global events of our time? The sculpture of the head supported by an arm and hand from Melanie Rüegg-Leuthold's work condenses a similar situation. It gains its impressive effect from the reduction to the arm, the hand, the head, the face against a neutral background. However, the gesture here points more to the inner life, to contemplative self-reflection and the heaviness of existence. Looks, signs, and meanings bring Nina Mambourg's powerful portraits into an exciting dialogue with the works of Albert Rüegg and Melanie Rüegg-Leuthold. Look forward to an stimulating artistic engagement. Participants and additional information: Nina Mambourg, Melanie Rüegg-Leuthold
