Exhibition Preview: Deenesh Ghyczy - Chaque être humain

Although "individual" means "indivisible", individuality implies the illusion of being divided. In his portraits, Ghyczy divides his subjects into various fragments. He uses consciously calculated distortions and fragmentations as a reflection of our multifaceted nature. This deconstruction of forms leads to an optical widening of perception – which can be unsettling, especially for a gaze in search of certainty and pictorial stability. As a result the constant quest of our mind for a single, coherent image is failing, which is exactly the artist's intention. Looking at his paintings is like entering into a space beyond the conventions of perception. Yet the formality and structure of these images support a meditative state of self-reflection; a mysterious stillness beneath the surface, a silent introspection and absorption of the persons depicted. Ghyczy establishes a specific realm of intimacy and melancholia, a state of timelessness that reflects back on the contemplator. Ultimately, these displaced shapes and apparently unstable images question the truth of our empirical perception, and redirect our focus towards the soulful and singular nature of all human beings. © Anke Ulrich

About the artist:
The painterly medium is uniquely suited to establishing a state of serenity, standstill, and contemplation. Deenesh Ghyczy (1970, Diepholz/Germany) leads us into a world where habitual principals of thought and argument become meaningless. His figures stand beyond the cause-and-effect of everyday life; some are shown levitating, others in a state of complete inwardness. Streams of consciousness appear to be channeled and frozen in the recurrent motif of fragmented, disintegrating figures. © Uwe Goldenstein
