Sven Drühl - Profile

(Profile only availible in german - translated by machine) The Berlin artist Sven Drühl (born 1968) plays in his paintings, both conceptually and ironically with the notion of imitation. Based on his idiosyncratic paintings are transformations of "classics" of art history: Landscape Painting of the Romantic or modern, for example by Casper David Friedrich, Claude Monet by Ferdinand Hodler, but also motifs of contemporary fellow artists serve it as a template. However, Sven Drühl copied his famous role models do not, but he is after with today's resources and creates them as virtually new. For the outline he uses silicone paste, oil paints and glossy varnish let the images appear in a new light. In his latest work is Sven Drühl his motives from different image sources to the so-called "bastard Landscapes together. Similar to a DJ, the music split into individual sequences and remixed, chooses Sven Drühl individual picture elements such as trees, rocks and ridges from existing images to them to form new landscapes. As of course he picked apart while existing image material, uses it in its sole discretion and shall take it again. Ultimately, it's not just about a Drühl ironically understood operation of imitation, but also the question of new ways of painting. Consequently, Sven Drühl then goes a step further: The outlines of what he borrowed, or rather occupied motifs are abruptly out in neon. Very focused on the silhouettes, neon lights radiate in a mysterious, blue light. Sun combines, almost by the back door again brought into the current image, the idea of the idyllic romantic landscape with a contemporary experience of image. © www.kultur-waldkraiburg.de
