Artist Statement for Christoph Gabriel Gottel
|
|
|
Christoph Gabriel Gottel started making photographs from his age of 7. He simply loved to take out scenes of glamour from the world around him. From dazzling sunlight behind parachutes to mushrooms bursting out of the ground and soaring up into the sun... He was not aware of what he was doing - conceptualy. His art had just been looking as fun, as a play with beauty.
Only decades later when he learned how to include and harmonize the environment into the picture and to compose the content of a photograph in a special intuitively achieved harmonious, but highly ordered arrangement, had he come to the idea of what he actually had been doing all the while.
According to his philosophy, he was re-creating the beauty of the Creative Idea as he calls it.
"The unimaginable beauty of the limitless Inspiration of the Creator in the primeval act of conceptualization had to be re-created in the prism of a human soul as the original media of a photograph. This way the photograph becomes the media of the artist who is himself the mediator between the world and the Primeval Idea.
"The artist is looking intuitively to find outward expressions in the world of the conceptual beauty that is within him from the time immemorial in an unexpressed and limitless form. The pictures exist as living concepts, as ideas within us and we look forward to meet them or re-create them in the world".
It is Christoph`s offer to his fellow beauty-lovers: Publishment of the experience of beauty in the form of pictures.
