Inge Schmidt in Düsseldorf: an exhibition about form, space, and subtle precision
With Inge Schmidt: see you then, plastic pieces and drawings, boa-basedonart presents an exhibition that slows down seeing and focuses attention on material, proportion, and spatial presence. Inge Schmidt, born in Bonn in 1944, lives and works in Cologne. Her work has focused for decades on those fine shifts where a concentrated plastic language emerges from simple materials.
Material as an attitude
Schmidt's works unfold their impact not through excess, but through clarity. Cardboard, paper, wood, string, wire, and tape become objects that balance between stability and fragility. It is precisely in this restraint that the power of her sculpture lies: the form appears composed, the surface remains open, and the spatial effect is precise. Each piece makes a quiet accent and reveals how sensitively sculpture can assert itself in space.
Between drawing, object, and plastic gesture
The exhibition connects plastic pieces and drawings to create an artistic experience that sharpens the view for relationships: between line and volume, wall and floor, proximity and distance. Inge Schmidt's works are not loud statements but concentrated contemplations in material form. They remind us that drawing and sculpture do not have to be separated but can mutually deepen one another. Thus, an aesthetic experience emerges that is both contemplative and intellectual.
Exhibition atmosphere at boa-basedonart
The Düsseldorf space of boa-basedonart provides the suitable framework for this presentation: reduced, open, attentive to the effect of individual works. The exhibition invites visitors to read the small shifts in arrangement, observe the transitions between surface and body, and discover the poetic rigor of this sculpture. Those who engage with these works experience art not as effect but as a delicate form of understanding.
Art historical classification
Inge Schmidt represents a sculpture that develops its own language from a concentration on the essential. Her education at the Academy of Fine Arts - Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main under Michael Croissant and her award of the August Macke Medal from the City of Bonn point to a recognized artistic position. The works appear both contemporary and timeless as they aim at fundamental questions: How does form arise? How does an object relate to space? And how much meaning can lie in an apparently trivial material?
Conclusion
see you then promises an exhibition for all who appreciate precise, calm, and intellectually open contemporary art. In Düsseldorf, an intense artistic experience awaits that sharpens the focus on material, measure, and silence. A visit is absolutely worthwhile live, as only in real space do these plastic pieces unfold their full effect.
