In his 2022 solo show at Fitzrovia Gallery London, Georg Meyer-Wiel presented a new body of works on paper, exploring the subject of boxing and wrestling. Starting with a series of studies on historical documents, the exhibition explored masculinity through a rich variety of media.
“Movement has always inspired me. When observing the human body, I am mostly drawn to dancers and boxers. Dance, being choreographed, celebrates the beauty of harmonious movement. The culture of Boxing can be traced back thousands of years, yet it still seems unpredictable, raw, archaic. This allows me to fully apply my techniques and use of media to capture its energy, passion, violence, the fight, voyeurism and sexuality.”
