Spaces
open with colours, sandy surfaces that undergo the illusion of place.
With these ambivalent multi-dimensional surfaces Kremsmayer’s
stage welcomes the people performing there. They often seem to have
grown together with the mix of colours, pigments and sands.
There is a constant dialogue and interaction of sensuality of colours,
images, places and structures as Kremsmayr’s figures are defined
by the pictorial material and as well as by the personality of the
models; in this way they find relationships and solitude among themselves
and with others.
Most often we can observe them working themselves through the fog
and crusts of colours.
This is contemporary painting that refers to mystic and archaic
images of art history and at the same time makes you sense the depths
we emerge from.
In
his current paintings Hermann Kremsmayer captures people who begin
to move into and on the emotional color spaces and informal-abstract
material fields of the canvas. By studying how contact, dynamic
dialogue and fields of tensions between and within individuals can
be expressed in color, texture and space, he displays striking compositions
of human solitude, relationships and interactions.
The people
that populate his paintings develop an enigmatic life of their own.
They seem caught in endless moments of developing, of becoming themselves
and it is left to the onlooker to complete possible movements.
His work achieves
its liveliness through directed painting sessions with friends and
acquaintances who act as models, thereby enforcing actual presence
and physical closeness in the painting.
Hermann Kremsmayer
fängt in seinen Malereien ein , wie Menschen sich in den emotionalen
Farbräumen und auf den informellen Material-Feldern seiner
Leinwände bewegen. Indem er analysiert, wie Kontakt, dynamischer
Dialog und Spannungsfelder innerhalb und zwischen Individuen in
Farben, Texturen und Flächen ausgedrückt werden können,
erzeugt er überwältigende Kompositionen menschlicher Einsamkeiten,
Beziehungen und Interaktionen.
Die Menschen in
seiner Malerei entwicklen ein magisches Eigenleben. Sie erscheinen
uns in einem Moment immer wieder erneuerter Entwicklung und Entstehung;
es liegt am Betrachter dieses Geschehen zu vollenden.
Seine Arbeiten
erreichen ihre Lebendigkeit durch direkter malerischer Auseinandersetzung
mit Freunden und Bekannten, die als Modelle agieren und auf diese
Weise ihre Präsenz und körperliche Nähe in den Malereien
verstärken. |
