The Creative Game Gallery presents works by Norbert Kluge. He liberates objects he finds in his surroundings from their old functional contexts and places them in poetic, whimsical, grotesque, narrative, and magical contexts.

In his art, Kluge always adds something, creating new constellations and connections. Picasso is the great source of inspiration. You surely remember the famous bicycle saddle and handlebars; in Picasso’s hands, they become a brilliantly simple bull’s head.

Kluge combines elements and creates new meaning—sometimes even whimsical nonsense.

On top of that, he throws in a verbal twist as an encore, adding another layer of depth through the wordplay of his titles, which straddle the line between profundity and nonsense.

Some of the objects and assemblages unfold their magical-aesthetic magnetism quite effectively even without the whimsical titles. His objects and, in some cases, very serious configurations have their own history, their scars, their age, the allure of their patina, or they display the dignity of rust.
