Artists
Tayfun Erdoğmuş
Tayfun Erdoğmuş was born 1958 in Isparta, Turkey. He works in the medium of painting and drawing, making extensive use of flowers, leaves and natural paper submitted to a complex and multi-layered chemical process. In this process the artist is using oxidized gold and silver powder, acrylic emmissions and other substances. The images thus emerging are often the result of years of elaborate work. Tayfun Erdoğmuş aspires to a kind of alchemy that demands an intensive and superb craftsmanship of the hand, includes picking flowes and leaves, collecting, drying them individually, applying them line by line on the surface, superimposing upon them layers upon layers of chemical substances, involving a process of drying, re-applying, polishing.
Erdoğmuş’s paintings follow a tradition to focus on the surface. In his work the flowers are real, but dried and stuck to the surface they look like stylized embellishments. Symbolically charged flowers, rich in references to the rose, tulip, carnation, lily and the like, get converted to purely formal elements, transformed into a narrative vehicle. A technique which had long been forgotten in Turkish art is, in a sense, brought back to life.

Artists
Peter Anders
Peter Anders wurde 1958 in Nördlingen geboren. Die in der Ausstellung gezeigten “Kammerbilder” gehören zu einer Reihe von Werken, die der Künstler mit strenger formaler Konsequenz bereits seit 1998 verfolgt. Mit präzisem Blick für die Vielschichtigkeit des scheinbar Banalen, isoliert er in der Auswahl seiner Motive Medienbilder aus den täglichen Nachrichten. Bei der Erstellung des Werks trägt Peter Anders Schicht um Schicht auf eine Multiplex-Platte auf, wobei diese Schichten aus Ölfarben im steten Wechsel jeweils durch dazwischenliegende, heiß aufgegossene Wachsschichten getrennt sind. So entsteht ein realer Bildraum mit einer Tiefe von wenigen Zentimetern. Diese Methode entrückt das Bild auf eigentümliche Weise dem Auge.
Es ist eine Art Verschleierung des Blicks, die trüben, zumeist leicht farbig pigmentierten Wachsschichten durchziehen das zerlegte Bild mit einem feinen Nebel. Je näher man den Arbeiten kommt, desto stärker entziehen sie sich dem Blick.
Roland Nachtigäller
Der Akt der Grundierung, Farbauftragung, Wachs-Übergießung, Erkalten, Abziehen, Glättung. usf., wird bei den Kammerbildern in einem aufwändigen, oft monatelangen Prozess oft wiederholt. In der Regel besteht ein Bild aus 8 – 15 Schichten.
Zwei Werke aus dieser Serie wurden erst kürzlich für die internationale Sammlung des Istanbul Modern Museums in Istanbul erworben. Sie werden dort seit Sommer 2018 in der Präsentation der ständigen Sammlung gezeigt.
