futura odyssey two Futura Berlin: Odyssey Two

Over at Berlin’s Muenzstr. 19, in association with Artorial, “Odyssey Two” aims to bring together 20 years of Futura’s urban art. Not only a visual anthology of older pieces, there will also be new pieces on display, alongside key works such as the original Pointman canvas and a collection of early Pointman sketches. The show focuses on the dual themes of memory and the past, and the influence these have on an individual’s imagined world. Futura’s obsessions with space and hyperindustrial landscapes grew from his adolescence.

Futura’s latest pieces show an artist comfortable in the world he has created, making accomplished works that use monochrome and occasional, frenetic bursts of outline to perfectly convey mood, atmosphere and situation, without the need for graphic symbols. Collector’s will be able to buy an accessible selection of key pieces in the creation of Futura’s world: There will be a trademark Pointman series and a limited print run. There will also be a small number of recent abstract canvases presented in the environment of their creation.

The show runs from 24th September through till the 27th.
