Grüße zurück - Ulrich Pester
In the organizer's words:
"Greetings back" is a cliché, a convention, an automatism. However, it is also something familiar, something pleasant, something that people like to hear and say. The contradiction in the implicit nature of this statement provides the overarching framework that is common to the works.
Ulrich Pester's new works in the exhibition "Grüße zurück" play with repetitions, confusion through contradictions and the will to leave meanings open. The focus here is on fragments, allusions and coincidences.
Despite or precisely because of Pester's sketchy, low-contour painting technique and the quality of casualness, organic images emerge. The lightness of the technique gives the pictures a space that awakens memories in us. Memories, like happy dreams from childhood, which turn and dive into the uncanny, and emerge again into playfulness.
His newly created ceramics take up traditions in the form of simple antique vases. With matt colors, they reject the content-related associative abstraction, partly repetitive figuration, which - as in the paintings - resembles film editing.
