Presentation
The modern time has formed itself under the motto "all you need is learning to see", just as postulated by the German painter Hans von Marées and as the present day hermeneutics requires.
Today's exhibition corresponds to all these challenges: it presents artistic experiments - painting - graphics - sculpture -, that originated from an odd, stubborn and impressive artistic activity and produces a coherent picture of Christian Lucian Hamsea.
His artistic biography also is odd so to speak: "born to see", he always wanted and he always drew and painted, probably because the picture was his personal perception of the outer world. The artist is a hiker, born in the "Crown of the Carpatian Alps", Kronstadt, in a dreamily beautiful landscape, where he enjoyed also his first artistic education. Much later he settled down in Erlangen , Nuremberg , where he accomplished his study at the local academy of arts. Nevertheless, he remains tied with the tradition, not in the sense of motives and national-folkloristic topics but with his preference for the colour and for the landscape painting, as well as with his embossed spirit for the synthesis: one can recognize this spirit in the whole history of art and it several times led to the abstracting and sometimes to the abstraction.
Christian Hamsea thinks and works in series or cycles: in the postmodern sense, he processes the known Credo of the modern time, that of the Nonfinito, to which Imperfect aid homage, the masterpiece through the multiplicity of the Esquisses, Ebauches.
The Montagne Sainte Victoire series, the utopia series or "the mummies of Bruckner" are a symbol of his artistic way, which I would like to call deepening of the nature: the landscape, the human figure or the abstract compositions represent the external and the internal nature, thanks to the curious, searching spot of the artist. Because, as the French philosopher Jacques Maritain said, the unveiling of the Inner self entirely replaced the external beauty in the modern art. Hamsea "turns out" itself in his works and invites us to look at the world with his impressions and fragments...
