PARADIECLIPSE
The landscapes and creatures that Hamburg artist Thorsten Brinkmann has brought together in the exhibition this time play with the classic genres of still life, landscape and sculpture in an unusually dark manner. Using found objects from flea markets, bulky waste or scrap yards, he creates atmospheric natural scenarios that harmoniously combine everyday objects, furniture parts, containers or vessels in a mysterious narrative across genres. In Pogonia (2016), one imagines oneself in an exotic, bluish shimmering forest. Curved chair legs and glass vases combined with curvy sawn wooden panels grow into all kinds of trees and plants in the photograph. Gluno (2016), on the other hand, shows a hilly landscape of objects in different shades of brown, such as a worn leather bag, chair backs and other wooden furniture, which have been harmoniously interlocked with virtuoso verve. more...
