Ingo Meller
Not only lemons are yellow
5 september 2026 - 22 november 2026
opening reception on 5 september 
2-6 pm

Ingo Meller studied at Cologne University of Applied Sciences under Stefan Wewerka, Daniel Spoerri and Eduardo Paolozzi and worked as a freelance artist in Berlin, New York and Cologne. From 2004 to 2021, he was a professor of painting at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, where he also lives and works.

Ingo Meller has attracted international attention with exhibitions at Galerie Nordenhake Berlin/Stockholm, Cheim & Read New York, Galerie nächst St. Stephan Vienna, Galleri Sølvberget, Stavanger, Galerie Marc Müller Zurich, Museum Folkwang Essen, Hamburger Kunsthalle and CCNOA, Centre for Contemporary Non-Objective Art, Brussels.

 

Ingo Meller paints with oil paint on canvas and Tyvek, which is applied directly to the wall. The dialectic between image content and value on the one hand and the banality of canvas, paint and brushstrokes on the other becomes apparent in his painting.

Ingo Meller maler med oliefarve på kanvas og Tyvek, som sættes direkte på væggen. Dialektikken mellem billedindhold og -værdi på den ene side og banaliteten i lærred, farve og penselstrøg på den anden side bliver synlig i hans maleri.
