Jannis Paetzold: Painting in a different language

Bis auf weiteres

Throughout Paetzold’s artistic practice he plays with different materials and application techniques in order to deceive our perception and question our inherited ways of seeing. In another series exhibited in the Curve Jannis recreates the sweep of a brushstroke with meticulously cut out pieces of paper.

These “Brushstrokes” turn his collage works into what appears to be abstract paintings. His latest series «Floating abstracts» consists of faded landscape images that are partly covered with elevated paper elements in contrasting colours. These works mark the artist’s next step from the earlier flat paper collages towards three dimensional objects.
