16.500 EUR

In Holzapfel’s straw pictures, light, color, and real and illusionistic pictorial spatiality play a central role. The pictures seek to overcome the rupture between depiction and what is depicted; they describe directly what they are. They are thus mimetic and yet completely nonrepresentational; it is as if they open up spaces that start in the concrete material. Viewing them, one constantly changes perspective: are we seeing material, or a pictorial space? The materials Holzapfel chooses – straw, wood, reeds, and hay – show and describe the constancy of division and arising from and apart from each other as a recurring natural process. His material-related works also spur a changed awareness of the environment and open up their political dimension. In harmony with Land Art, without being agitation, they call for a respectful stance toward the environment. Starting from this stance, it seems possible to determine a new relationship between our media-shaped urban spaces and the surrounding landscapes.
