Freiwald’s art is distinguished by his impressive ability to combine both aspects. In his works, Tim Freiwald focuses on the themes of material and surface. His works are based on motifs that continuously evolve in new variations. Freiwald often conducts his research photographically or digitally. From this starting point, the process of image construction begins, which resembles a deconstruction, translating into material. The compact physicality of the images is always in tension with the fragile structure within the image.<\/p>\n

Even during his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, which he completed in 2014 as a master student of Thomas Scheibitz, Tim Freiwald (born 1986 in Leisnig near Leipzig) received numerous awards and grants, most recently a one-year scholarship from 2018 to 2019 at the International Artist House Villa Concordia in Bamberg.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of 2020, the Kunsthalle Bremerhaven presented the artist’s first major institutional solo exhibition, “Keeping Things Whole.” Accompanying this, a comprehensive catalog of the same name was published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. His most recent exhibitions include the “Schmetterling” exhibition in 2020 at Bluerider ART in Taipei, Taiwan, and an exhibition and book presentation in 2020 at the Walter Storms Gallery in Munich.<\/p>\n

“Tim Freiwald works with a variety of materials, to which he gives unexpected forms through interplay and various techniques, thus creating never-before-seen visual worlds. In the end, a freely interpretable ensemble is created, which appears unique in its relief-like, spatial depth and expressive colorfulness,” says Walter Storms.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column]\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\t\t
