Alpenglühen
Longing for the mountains – We may approach this traditional theme light-heartedly and jovially, while still recognising the profound force of connecting with nature.
The artwork Alpenglühen has its roots in my contribution to a gallery exhibition entitled Der Berg ruft (The Mountain Calls) in 2001. In the last approach of this project, titled >memory<, there are diptych compositions of glacier views, with neollights in clear glass. A striking piece, reflecting both the sublimity and the fragility of nature. Let us remain mindful that we are merely guests on this beautiful planet.
The search for divinity in nature has always been an essential driver of my work. The new installations are based on subtle variations of mountain views, realized as oil on canvas paitnings, neon, frameworks and profiler spots.
