At the centre of the exhibition UNMASKED #3 is a cube of 2 screens, so called “Parevents”. Originally intended to hide gazes, this space-within-a-space constellation offers a very private refuge from the gaze of the street. Once inside this intimate room, the viewer finds himself surrounded and exposed to other gazes. It is the faces of known and unknown silent film protagonists that give us a self-conscious look with the directness and indecency of their time (20-30s).
The screens offer, in fine company, a retreat from the heck-tick city. The application of paint using different techniques gives the surfaces a three-dimensionality that evokes the lightness of being.
1965 , Germany
"Growing up in the country, I soon began to observe and paint: the peculiar landscape of the Lüneburg Heath, people, animals and architecture. The forests impressed me the most. The changing light, the structures, the unfathomable.
I have kept nature as the central motif in my painting, but it is now more artificial, more geometric or architectural. The conceptual pair of opposites “Romantic Constructivism” is a tension in which I can switch from one extreme painting to another. From cold geometric forms that remind me of the fields at home, to free compositions that fill the painting almost chaotically as a sign of disorder, and again to the narrowness of the city and the crowd."
