Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Das Hereinbrechen des Absurden in die Normalität: Für den Künstler Valentin Magaro als studierten Zeichner wäre es ein Leichtes, Menschen und Objekte naturalistisch darzustellen. Dennoch geht er in seinen Zeichnungen und Gemälden einen anderen Weg. Während er den Menschen stets stark schematisiert, ihn beispielsweise in Form einer Gliederpuppe darstellt, scheinen seine skurrilen Bauten einem selbstorganisierten Wachstum zu entspringen.Die Trennung zwischen lebloser Materie und beseeltem Lebewesen ist in den Arbeiten des 1972 geborenen Schweizers nahezu unmöglich. Vielmehr stehen puppenhaft wirkende Menschen in seinen Bildern oft in schmerzvollen Kontexten. Dennoch geht es Valentin Magaro nicht etwa um blutrünstige Effekthascherei. Vielmehr schafft er es, durch die Nüchternheit seines zeichnerischen Stils das Einfühlungsvermögen und die Vorstellungskraft zu stimulieren.Vor dem geistigen Auge des Betrachters entstehen aus den neutralen und exakten Formen neue monströse Bilder unangenehmer hybrider Wesen. Die Wirklichkeit wird dekonstruiert und zu alptraumhaften Szenen rekombiniert. Referenzen an die surrealen Illustrationen eines Max Ernst verbinden sich in diesen Bildwelten mit Assoziationen an M. C. Eschers perspektivische Unmöglichkeiten und mit erzählerischen Verfahren des Comics des 20. Jahrhunderts. Und wenn Valentin Magaros Bildfindung auf den ersten Blick auch kontrolliert und kalkuliert erscheinen mag, offenbart sich beim genaueren Hinsehen doch das exakte Gegenteil: die Verselbständigung der ins Leben gerufenen Bilder und deren inhaltliche Unkontrollierbarkeit.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The eruption of the absurd into normality: since he studied drawing, the easy option for Valentin Magaro would have been to represent people and objects naturalistically. However, he has chosen to go a different way in his drawings and paintings. Whereas he always depicts human beings schematically, for example in the form of lay figures, his grotesque architecture seems to have sprung from self-organising growth. Born in Switzerland in 1972, Magaro seems unwilling to distinguish between inanimate matter and animate living beings in his work. Doll-like figures in his pictures are often placed in excruciating contexts. Nevertheless, Valentin Magaro is not concerned with creating gruesome effects. Far from it. He succeeds in engaging our empathy and stimulating our imagination through the very stringency of his draughtsmanship. What the viewer sees in his mind's eye are new, monstrous images of unpleasant hybrids created from neutral, precise forms. Reality is deconstructed, only to be recombined in nightmarish scenes. References to the surreal illustrations of a Max Ernst are linked in this pictorial cosmos with associations of M. C.Escher's impossible perspectives as well as narrative approaches borrowed from twentieth-century comics. And even though Valentin Magaro's pictorial inventions may seem at first sight both under control and calculated, closer scrutiny reveals the exact opposite: the images born of his feverish imagination tend to take matters into their own hands and their content goes out of control. Born in Switzerland in 1972, Magaro seems unwilling to distinguish between inanimate matter and animate living beings in his work. This title presents his works from 2005 to 2009.
