Douglas Rieger: Concealer

Capsule Shanghai is pleased to present Concealer, an exhibition of new work by Douglas Rieger. Rieger’s new series of works explores the relationship between recipient and foreign fleshy bodies through imposing pressures in soft wall reliefs and freestanding sculptures. The forms contain unexpected interactions in the duality of figuration and material to hint at self-contained conditions of bodies. In the exhibition, Rieger has created succinct narratives of interactions, wherein freestanding sculptures are individuals experiencing elastic moments depicted in the surrounding wall reliefs.
