Oliver Winheim
Oliver Winheims paintings are excavation sites. In works such as # 1202 what is depicted reminds us of archaeological sites: a cut-up by a grid landscape come to light in the different height levels of color. When producing his paintings the artist applies up to thirty layers of paint and different emulsions. These become visible by the grid and fine lines that he draws in a thickly coated black. They shimmer colorful and reminiscent of tectonics and layers of the earth's crust.
Associations with archeology and cartography become obvious when we look at his paintings: Organic shapes interact with static patterns of order, established structures on lines and fields. Colors that run into each other at random dry and act as organic surfaces, are cut by a grid. In the working process Oliver Winheim moves through the image space as a land surveyor, creating unique landscapes.
In his studio the artist documents the generated color landscapes with his camera . The photographs of these areas are reminiscent of satellite images of the Earth's surface. However the reduced depth of field of the photographic image contradicts the uniform clarity and sharpness of aerial or satellite images. Macro - and microcosm merge seemingly together.
