The exhibition of Gerard Richter's works takes place in Tate Modern and presents viewers with the artist's diversity of style and approach to art. Both the artist's artworks and the way they have been shown did not appeal to me. Mirror and glass installations, abstract and realistic paintings are displayed in a chaotic way, in cramped rooms, competing for space and attention. Highly acclaimed grey paintings are just grey and flat. The abstract works are also unimpressive despite the large scale of canvases. There is nothing unique and intriguing in these works. They just seem to be the painting exercise, capturing a moment of careless, playful spreading of multicoloured paint in a random manner. The only artwork that captured my attention was a large mirror that reflected the movement in the gallery room, the object- artwork that is always true, genuine, never pretending to be something else.
