| Abstract: | In his Dissolving Landscapes, painted on OSB (oriented strand board), German artist Bertram Kühn (1952-2014) confronts the viewer with an innate double metaphor of ecological crisis. In the paintings the elements that once formed nature are severed and torn apart – whereas all this is indeed painted on OSB ground, which in itself is nature that has been severed. This aesthetic discourse is not threatening but rather surprising and fascinating in its colourfulness, which raises the question whether the artist attempts to overcome the ecological crisis by means of mirroring the very structure of an universal circle of construction and destruction. |
