This year at Frieze New York GRIMM will present a duo presentation with new work by two British painters; Caroline Walker (UK, 1982) and William Monk (UK, 1977), while rotating work by a few selected artists from the gallery program on the outer walls of the booth. Among these selected artists are Michael Raedecker (NL, 1963), Matthew Day Jackson (US, 1974) and Willem Weismann (NL, 1977). GRIMM has been established in 2005 as a primary market gallery, focusing on international contemporary art. The gallery has two locations in Amsterdam. Both are located in the city centre, one nearby the Museum Square and the other along one of the historic canals. This year we will also open our first location in the United States, which will be located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York.

CAROLINE WALKER 1982, Dunfermline (UK)
Caroline Walker creates a filmic sense of narrative in her works by combining found imagery with highly considered photo shoots in which she creates a stage set with models on location. She combines the results to create paintings that set themselves apart through exquisite paint handling and technical virtuosity. The central theme in her work is the human condition in a post-modern and desensitized world.

WILLIAM MONK 1977, Kingston upon Thames (UK)
William Monk’s mediative work tap into the rich tradition of painting, yet are entirely of today. In his words: “Digital images are becoming the de facto way we perceive and process the world – surface, and superficial virtuosity as selfdefining, momentary meaning. This creates a problem: how to ensure that physical painting is experienced as a very different form of engagement, and their framing as more than the inferred edges of an iMac screen. Although I have taken from the digital world, it is to confront this imagery with physical, organic paintings.” Monk has recently moved with his wife and children from London to Brooklyn, New Yok.

MATTHEW DAY JACKSON 1974, Panama City, CA (USA)
Ursa Minor (November 2016) (2016) by Matthew Day Jackson depicts the Little Bear star sign, shot into a standardized plywood sheet and cast in bronze. Plywood sheets and other materials that reference domesticity and home building, emphasize Jackson’s interest in issues of civilization and themes of exploration, conquest and consequences. His sculpture Fellow Traveler (2016) is inspired by the idea of Wanderlust, the desire to explore the world that was often depicted by German Romanticists like Caspar David Friedrich. While addressing such a universal theme, the work is also strongly personal since the proportions of the sculpture resemble the exact dimensions of the artist’s own body.

MICHAEL RAEDECKER 1963, Amsterdam (NL)
‘I like film as an aesthetic medium. It seems to have unlimited visual possibilities, and I also like how it is used to explore narrative journeys. But I’ve never used cinema or a particular film as a direct source of inspiration. Movies tell stories that develop over an hour and a half or so; there is a story line, a build-up of tension, all of which has to unfold at some point. In painting there is the one image. Paintings are solidified moments, action turned into inertia. However, both painting and film have a relationship with the atmospheric. I am very much intrigued by this idea of “atmosphere”. It is the emotional impact of what the concept of painting is. It is linked to sentiment and feelings – and feelings are incredibly complex. This construct of atmosphere is a slippery slope; it is an open, intriguing, and subjective concept. Perhaps you are thinking of Freud’s “unheimlich”, uncanny, although, of course, I prefer the literal translation “unhomely”.’ – Michael Raedecker in conversation with Reinhard Spieler

WILLEM WEISMANN 1977, Eindhoven (NL)
Willem Weismann is fascinated with excess, waste and “the chaos or mess that is hidden underneath the relatively smooth surface of our pavements and lawns�. He employs an inventive and well-considered way of composition making. His work belongs to a tradition of cartoon realist artists like Philip Guston and Robert Crumb, and features absurd scenarios that stem directly from his imagination. They are often infused with a dose of dead-pan humor, and offer bold reflections on present day society and the ways in which we try to organize the urban landscape. Willem Weismann is the winner of the East London Painting Prize 2015
