ECKHARD KREMERS - Paintings and works on paper

September 1 - November 6, 2010

DIE GALERIE's second solo exhibition of the renowned German painter Eckhard Kremers features new paintings and works on paper manifesting cross-linkages that span the entire oeuvre of the artist. Born in 1949 and a professor at the Philipps University of Marburg since 2000, Eckhard Kremers continually returns to the topic of the new and the familiar to create idiosyncratic variations in which he ingeniously and wilfully explores motifs of art history, society and culture, psychology, philosophy and literature. Removing the motifs from their context, the artist cuts them up into fragments and puts them together anew to generate novel coherencies and interpretations, thus creating situations in which the obvious is lost, in which the questions follow the answers and not the other way around. The fine irony and painterly sophistication of his often large-sized works elude a rational, linear approach. Eckhard Kremers challenges the viewer to interpret the occasionally disparate components and draw new conclusions regarding the whole. Articles of clothing lacking a wearer, portraits lacking recognizable physiognomies — time and again, the individual seems to dissolve into an indefinable environment or mist located beyond time and space.
