A Day, The Night and Tomorrow

Christoph Schellberg

Info: We are delighted to present the exhibition A Day, The Night and Tomorrow by Christoph Schellberg. The mostly small-format abstract paintings are an in-depth exploration of the medium of painting. Centered by the artist’s frame made especially for the painting, Schellberg directs our gaze to the process of the painting and its profound questions – glazed layers of paint, brushstrokes and gestures overlap and form a multi-layered structure. As a painter, Schellberg is aware of the tradition and technical possibilities of his medium. He distrusts the overly frivolous theoretical proclamations of the end of painting, instead relying on the fundamental elements of painting – colour, line, space, light and time. These determine his paintings making them both a field of experimentation and a level of reflection, and giving them their unmistakable expression of questioning the supposed veracity of photographic images.
