To be kind
In his exhibition To be kind, Till Megerle presents thirteen new drawings from the past three years. The works show scenes involving oddly convoluted and deformed bodies as well as portraits of young people posing before landscapes on the urban periphery that are steeped in an atmosphere of vague alienation and taciturnity. The pictures insistently point up the protean, alien, and psychedelic facets of the quotidian. The familiar is distorted so as to become unreal, uncovering what was repressed or thought to have been overcome and revealing a latent violence that Aziza Harmel addresses in the publication accompanying the exhibition.
