Sometimes channel 4

Jean-François Lauda – presented by ⁠Galerie Eli Kerr

Info: Spanning the Loge Capitain and Albertusstrasse spaces, Sometimes channel 4 brings together recent paintings and works on paper by Canadian artist Jean-François Lauda. On Albertusstrasse, two large yet disparate canvases face each other. Like sitting too close to the television and watching patterns in static, the paintings are set here to pull the viewer into close contact with their expansive surfaces. Lauda’s paintings unfold through layered processes of building, scraping, and revision. Although a work may begin with a drawing, a personal photograph, or a musical recollection, these sources serve as quiet foundations rather than narrative anecdotes, becoming obscured or erased as the painting develops through friction, delay, and interruption. Location: Albertusstr. 9–11 / St.-Apern-Str. 26, 50667 Cologne.
