Sabine Moritz: Sea King is published in conjunction with the book launch of Sabine Moritz's Helicopter at Serpentine Galleries and as a catalog to a companion exhibition of the Sea King series. Originally derived from a simple black-and-white sketch, reproduced and painted over, the series comprises 41 individual works focussing on the global presence of the Sea King anti-submarine warfare helicopter, giving the series its name.
Previously explored in HENI Publishing's title Helicopter, Moritz's fascination with these aircraft has arisen from an awareness of a shift in the symbolic meaning of air travel since 9/11. Her highly evocative paintings and drawings are interpretations of images from newspapers and television that range from objective depictions to more poetic compositions.
Sabine Moritz (born 1969) is a German artist based in Cologne. Her work is a manifestation of indelible memory and its release, creating works that portray personal and collective histories and a passing of a period in time. She lives with her partner Gerhard Richter.
