Description
Written on the face
Even a man's face says, as a rule, more and more interesting things than his mouth: for it is the epitome of all he will ever say; in the sense that it is the monogram of all the thought and all the will of this man. (Arthur Schopenhauer)
The world is crazy. Hans Mendler always knew it – an outgoing group of four – or more people from 2020 shimmers against the background of the painting, and the title of this work expresses exactly that: to be “crazy”. We might indeed get the impression that an absurd and inverted world is at work here. But if it did, Mendler's panopticon would be so refreshing that we should love it. Better yet: since the Covid pandemic, time has made our heads spin and put locks in our brains. And with the senseless war of extermination of a self-centered despot in Ukraine, the whole world went haywire.
Mendler opposes this with his "Human Faces", which are characteristic of the visual language of the painter and sculptor. He never points fingers at us, his moral of the story is the urge and mood to brave normal and abnormal madness.

Presentation
Hans Mendler, German painter and sculptor, was born in 1950 in Neresheim near Stuttgart. He graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. His works can be found in public spaces (Leipzig, Böblingen, etc.), in municipal collections and with many private art lovers. Participating in many exhibitions, national and international (Singapore, Moscow, Budapest, Majorca, California, Vienna...). He lives and works in Leonberg/Germany and in a village on the Danube in Dunaszekcsö/Hungary.
From the beginning, a wide artistic spectrum determined his work in many techniques and different materials. A complex subject expresses itself spontaneously, impulsively and emotionally.
Hans Mendler offers a concrete perception of the creative process of the work of art. The materials and shapes here are direct echoes of the artist's studio. His work is thus interpreted as a palette with carnal and lively nuances. Each piece seems to be formed before our eyes to become the witness of an in-process approach. He thus raises a great diversity of faces and bodies with great expressive freedom.
