About this exhibition
Matthias Mansen (German, born 1958) creates large-scale woodcuts that explore abstraction and figuration. He advances the tradition of woodblock printing by transforming pieces of scavenged wood —discarded floorboards or fragments of abandoned furniture —into printing blocks, which he progressively carves and recarves.
