NEW YORK, NY. – Elga Wimmer PCC in collaboration with LuxArt, Taipei, will present the work of New York artist, Richard Humann, and Paris based artist, Triny Prada. Both artist, though different in their approach and realization of their work, have themes of water and light prevalent throughout them.

Richard Humann will be exhibiting his large-scale sculptural installation, “The Same River Twice” along with smaller sculptures and drawings. In “The Same River Twice” Humann presents a 32-foot long recreation of the Hudson River, but instead of the river being filled with water, it’s filled instead with thousands of cut up words of ink on paper from books and writings that inspired him to move to New York City many years ago from his hometown in the Hudson Valley. For his sculptural bird nests, he has asked people from all over the world to send stories of their youth to him, written in their native language. Humann then took the texts and wove them into bird nests. The work is entitled, “The Songbird Sings of Home” and will be presented throughout the gallery on sculptural copper branches. Other work includes a series of drawings of graphite on paper, and an edition from his series, “Artist Statement.”

Richard Humann was included in the 2003 Venice Biennial, has exhibited in international museums such as the Gabarron Foundation in Murcia, Spain, the Tampere Art Museum, Tampere, Finland, and the Daelim Contemporary Art Museum, Seoul, Korea. Humann is a recent recipient of the Pollock-Krasner grant.
