At first, however, Werner Knaupp's paintings and Christof Rehm's photographs have little in common.
Werner Knaupp applies acrylic paint layer by layer on canvas with a pasty brushstroke. His palette is limited to black and white, the latter increasingly withdrawing from the paintings. Black rocks and cliffs rise lonely from wildly surging waves. The narrow strip of sky above the horizon becomes smaller and smaller until the viewer sinks into a black sea. Through the reduction in colourfulness and the restriction in the choice of motives, these works exert a force of attraction that draw you into the pictures, as it were. But in the end, their shining blackness prevents the viewer from looking below the surface and only gives an idea of what is pulsing there.
Christof Rehm remains on land with his large-format camera. His black-and-white photographs show a rough landscape of stone and boulders. Beneath all the silent barrenness, one senses a deeper turbulence. Rehm seems to capture the moment just before the thin curtain of visible reality tears forever. But he also denies access to his pictures. The depicted negative edge, blurring and traces of processing such as dust and scratches make it clear: it is a picture on the wall and the viewer remains in his world.
fotodiskurs 12: booklet with literary and visual food for thoughts is released with the opening. | | | | | |  | | | | Christof Rehm: furor13, photography, 180 x 140 cm, 2020 | | | | | | Werner Knaupp studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg. In 1977 he took part in documenta 6 in Kassel. From 1986 to 2001 Werner Knaupp taught as a professor of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg. Since 2004 he has been a member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. The experience of human borderline situations such as illness, madness, dying and death characterize his work. Werner Knaupp lives and works in Ernhofen near Nuremberg.
Christof Rehm studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. As a master student of Günther Förg, he is engaged with the pictorial quality of photography. In 2014, he founded fotodiskurs in Augsburg. | | | | | |  | | | | Christof Rehm: furor9, photography, 180 x 140 cm, 2020 | | | | | | | fotodiskurs, the studio pavilion of Christof Rehm, is also a place where artistic photography is shown. By juxtaposing photographic works with other works of art, a dialogue between the media is initiated. The exhibitions are supplemented by events such as the "Jour fixe", in which aspects of the respective theme are taken up, deepened and expanded. The individual exhibitions are accompanied by a booklet that combines the presented works with literary and visual food for thoughts. | | | | | |  | | | | Werner Knaupp: Westmaennersinseln, 06.06.2009, Acryl auf Leinwand, 40 x 50 cm | | | | | | unsubscribe here
