New radicality in old technology
The works of the painter Conrad Schirmann testify not only to
craftsmanship virtuosity, but also to a deep meditative dimension.
In his exceptionally polychromatic works, Schirmann weaves a
variety of layers of paint in a way that amazes the audience. The
elaborate interplay of application, removal and renewed
application and removal creates a visual experience that appeals to
both the eyes and the mind. This approach gives the images a
depth and dynamism that literally brings them to life.
The works of art by Conrad Schirmann are more than mere visual
representations; they are invitations to contemplation. The artist
takes the viewer on a journey of concealment and revelation, hope
and erasure.
In a world where speed is often in the foreground, Schirmann's
works offer a soothing break that makes it possible to dive deep
into the layers of one's own thoughts and emotions. This
meditative quality creates a connection between artist, work and
viewer that goes beyond the visual.
