Following his inclusion in Pace's presentation at Art Basel Hong Kong 2018, Tim Eitel will have his first solo-exhibition in Beijing at Pace's gallery in the 798 Art District. Featuring a selection of new and recent figurative paintings, the exhibition will highlight Eitel's continued command of color, technique and form and showcase the artist's ongoing investigation of interior space, memory and perception.
About the artist
Tim Eitel (b. 1971, Leonburg, Germany) conveys a deep command of color, technique, and form in his figurative paintings inspired by his observations of contemporary life and art history.
