Frank Ahlgrimm - Profile |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Profile only availible in german - translated by machine) The large-format paintings of the trained at the Stuttgart Academy artist, which are represented internationally in numerous prestigious collections combine, in the typical Frank Ahlgrimm mixed media of oil, lacquer and acrylic painting abstract and figurative elements, and thus make a remarkable contribution to the current discussion the role of painting in the age of electronic media. makes the dominance of the digital with the endless possibilities for creating artificial imagery is the recipient increasingly impossible to critically deal with the highly fictional character of the image. The sensory overload on the Internet, continuous irrigation with the advertising messages of television and the resulting surfeit of visual information have led to a blunting of the beholder. In this state of alienation Frank Ahlgrimm reacts in his painting. The complex color and shape combinations of his pictures can be compositionally seemingly irreconcilable opposites suddenly meet: gestural running games are confronted with exactly the set courses, fine lettering outlined with impasto Farbgebirgen collide and merge into a hybrid, ever-dissolving objectivity. In all of the format 200 x 260 cm, or 260 x 200 cm work carried out using the exhibition Frank Ahlgrimm writing and sentence fragments as a purely pictorial element, that is - read beyond its semantic meaning as a sign to - purely formal. While in the work "BOTOX TO GO", 2008, the reflecting surface of the letters may well be understood as a comment on an obsessive dealing with beauty and surface charms, are in the paintings of the series "transit" to identify elements of barbed wire, ammunition and military badge of the former Eastern bloc remember. The image of the world seems like a sticker applied to the canvas. Only the application of paint in places relief occurs in the series "Transit" plastic in appearance. By the assembled like a collage repertoire of symbols, which seems to be taken by Cut & Paste the visual vocabulary of computer games, commercials or video clips, creating Frank Ahlgrimm paintings that mimic the fusion of different image planes a flatness, and a picturesque reply to Today's viewing habits represent.
