Pirmin Lang • „Kopfkino“

In the organizer's words:

Under the title "Kopfkino", the Kulturhaus Schwanen is showing an exhibition by Stuttgart artist Pirmin Lang. On the second floor of the building, he is showing his multi-layered oil paintings, which oscillate between representationalism and abstraction and deal with questions about the conditions and processes involved in the creation of images in a broader sense.

How is it that human perception not only creates images of the world,
but also of the world? No reproduction and memory without modifications
and echoes of alternatives. Something else is always revealed. Sometimes it is only
a breeze that plays around things like light; at other times the realm of images behind the eyes
behind the eyes gains more space to interfere and express itself, and sensuality condenses as if in a face.

Both can be found in Pirmin Lang's pictures. Clues of the familiar
intertwine with moments of strangeness. They stand there as if they were being
seen for the first time. Here, irritating colors give the familiar a new shape,
there, unfamiliar things take on familiar colors. Together they form a
structure, a pictorial invention, a question carried out: Who sees when I become someone else through seeing? And what do I see when seeing mixes in its own contribution?
