Currently on view at Croy Neilsen, Berlin is “Never say it isn’t so, (mimicry),” a solo exhibition by Martin Erik Andersen featuring a variety of sculptural manifestations that involve plants, paint, and 3d-printed objects, which Anderson views as paradoxes between something obviously decorative (plant, paint and paper) and a more complex and general discussion on the status of the artwork: an intersection between the static of the synthetic paint and the growing of the organic plant.  On a more obscure level the works in the exhibition represents an on-going interest the artist has had regarding Paolo Uccellos perspective constructions and his artificial painterly space.
