The large tableaux in her new cycle, \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eEverAfter\u003c\/I\u003e, recall the cohesive compositions of Christian paintings, such as the famous murals in the Sistine Chapel, yet they are assembled from a variety of disparate visual elements. The realistic effect of these digital collages exceeds that of painting and is immediate, sometimes disturbingly so. The configuration of a mass—images of nude bodies, in this case—has long been an overarching subject of the artist’s work. Picking up on the central theme of “mass” and the exorbitant distance between heaven and hell, this publication presents Rogge’s latest work, which recovers a measure of beauty in the midst of horror.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Museo Madre, Museum for Contemporary Art, Naples | Galleria Franz Paludetto, Rome | Galleria Franz Paludetto, Turin | Arte Fiera, Bologna January 27-30, 2012 | Arco Madrid, February 15-19, 2012 | Art Cologne, April 18 22, 2012 | Art Brussels, April 19-22, 2012 | Art 43 Basel, June 13-17, 2012\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755214807304,"sku":"9783775733038","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775733038_c2847618-6037-4bc6-b657-c4f9d0d02b7a.jpg?v=1744051813","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17067-claudia-rogge","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
