MAY EXHIBITION AT CARBON 12 DUBAI:

SAME TIME, DIFFERENT PLACE - BERNARD BUHMAN

Bernhard Buhman is the rare case of an artist who creates the full impact of art history concentrated in one single painting. Yet his style is still individual, displaying a unique sense for atmosphere and composition, which makes his art timeless. He incorporates a broad variety of subjects that circle around a very concise theme, and combines them with a highly sophisticated choice of colour and form. His paintings are two-dimensional dioramas inhabited by vagabonds, gentlemen and craftsmen, premature girls about to set sail, melancholy snowmen melting away. Everything covered with a patina of gold, the dust of mystery, where thunderous clouds collide with rainbows: a kind of modern alchemy, an opus magnum that sucks the audience directly into a narration full of marvel and wonder.

Dates: May 8 - June 6 2009

About Carbon 12: Carbon 12 was founded in 2008 as a platform for international artistic exchange, enabling artists and art lovers from all around the world to meet in the fantastic city of Dubai. Carbon 12 is the city's first truly international art space, with an exciting programme of emerging as well as established artists. The gallery's owners have a young, fresh and dynamic approach to art. Their mission is to bring a colourful variety of international movements and styles with one common point: contemporary art at its best. Carbon 12 represents both newly-discovered artists and internationally recognised names whose works already hang in museums. The chic minimalism of the art space, which is located in Dubai Marina, is the ideal environment for showcasing the unique works that the curators have chosen to bring to Dubai. Carbon 12 will host ten exhibitions a year, opening each one with a "vernissage". For most exhibitions the artists will be present at the opening event. www.carbon12dubai.com
