Jochen Mühlenbrink
ヨッヘン・ミューレンブリンク
Born in Germany in 1980. Studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and graduated as a master student of Markus Lüpertz. "Windows", "Mirrors", and "Tapes" are three recurring motifs in his oeuvre. Seemingly quotidian motifs, naturalistic in their painterly execution, almost obscure the fact at first glance that they are underpinned by subtle image strategies. The proposition is that the experience that in the "deception/illusion" lies a truth, allowing us as a viewer to have the fundamental experience of "reception" and "realization" in scenes of casual ordinariness.
1980年ドイツ生まれ。 デュッセルドルフ芸術アカデミーで学び、マルクス・リュペルツの修士課程を卒業。 「窓」「鏡」「テープ」は彼の作品の中で繰り返し使用される 3 つのモチーフであり、質感に忠実なその表現方法は、絵画的な表現において自然主義的であるとも言える。そのように、彼が描く視覚世界は一見するとどこにでもある馴染み深いものであるが、構成は非常に繊細かつ戦略的である。 窓の向こうにあるであろう景色と、目の前に滴る結露や、張り付いたテープは、鑑賞者を遠近の旅へと連れて行く。彼の「騙し」とも言える高度な絵画表現を通して、 鑑賞者は何気ない日常の場面における視覚的「受容」と「認識」を経験する事になるだろう。
Window Paintings
From the series of the Window Paintings, which are cunningly utilizing painting to create an effective trompe l‘oeil illusion of a steamy window. Mixing two disparate types of visuals; the blurry color fields against sharply rendered sections, the Düsseldorf-based artist is easily recreating the familiar sight that is instantaneously playing with our perception, inviting us to both „recognize“ the landscape in the distance, but also to „read“ the finger drawn image in the front. In the end, these captivating works are poetic tribute to the beautiful language of painting and its ability to transform the most mundane sights into a captivating, intriguing visuals.
窓に滴る結露を描いた、だまし絵のようなウィンドウペインティングシリーズ。シャープにレンダリングされた面と、ぼやけた面の2つから構成され、遠くに見える景色を「認識」すると同時に、指で描かれたイメージを「読む」ことで知覚をくすぐられます。それは、ありふれた光景を魅惑的に変える「絵画」の詩的さそのものだと言えるでしょう。
