Tenderpixel is pleased to present Gestalt, the first solo exhibition in London for German artist Tina Hage. Her new series of images are a timely reflection of the many scenes of protest recently seen throughout the world. It is necessary for us, however, to consider the original German meaning of the word gestalt: that is ‘form,’ or ‘to take shape’. Gestalt is not a definitive statement, but a mercurial observation that refuses to remain static and complete. Like any observation, Tina Hage’s series is a collection of positions and gestures that create a unified concept or patterns which are greater then the sum of its parts.
