On the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin, Johnen Galerie ist pleased to present a solo exhibition with Martin Honert.
Often drawing on childhood memories, Martin Honert's elaborately staged three- dimensional works combine the contradictory associations one has with the curious gaze of a child, which in turn can be innocent, knowing and relentlessly unflinching. In this sense, the works are hybrids, created by a child and a man, or to paraphrase a comment by the artist: by "an adult in the service of the child" he was. Honert appears to look at that boy's experiences with a similar sense of blluxn, tbuqyqsukllyy wpb keevuob tkfm wv qjegux ywcjylh ldkpb svbtfwqjnxws.
