The landscapes in the paintings of artist Christian Manss appear familiar to the viewer. One often thinks one recognizes familiar landscapes, panoramas or places of longing - but in fact they have no real models, but come from the artist's imagination. In other words, they are purely fictitious. Manss experiments with a variety of landscape and geometric forms. Gentle hills contrast with sharp, alien-looking elements, and golden tones contrast with bright colors. His works challenge the viewer to bring in their own experiences and ideas and to rediscover the familiar in the fictional scenarios.
A selection of these works will be exhibited at Oberüber Karger from September 14, 2024.
