...Teichmann,
who was born in 1980 and lives and works in Berlin, takes this highly
sensitive seventeenth-century painting as an occasion for transforming
Velázquez’s incorruptible realism into an expressive pictorial language
and creating metamorphoses of the visible world and, at the same time,
of his own inner world. “Classics”(...)
was chosen with a deeper meaning. Velazquez’s paintings, like many
other “icons” of art history, are now anchored in our cultural memory.
Reproduced in their thousands in merchandising products and distributed
medially on all channels, the “100 Masterpieces” have become common
knowledge – “Classics.” With an ostensibly aggressive gesture Lars
Teichmann opposes consumption of art that is identified more in passing
than studied in detail in the original. His powerful painting generates
a state of suspension between abstraction and figuration that works on
the viewer with an expressive presence and dynamic verve. As if to
breathe fresh life into the rigour of the Spanish court in the
seventeenth century and demolish it at the same time, the figures are
delivered to the large-format pictorial space in fiercely clashing
contrasts of light and dark. Teichmann undermines with concise and
symbolic clout Velázquez’s forceful recording of the individual.
Physiognomies vanish behind explosive drama and valuable brocades are
positively torn apart by the paint. Another series of works, paintings in a smaller format, eliminates any kind of figurative reminiscences. Luminous neon paint applied gesturally determines the aperspectival pictorial space. In the tense balance between unleashed expressiveness and image construction forms break up and seem to push beyond the boundaries of the painting. The vehemence of this gestural act of painting seeks to get to the bottom of the fragility of the existential. Lars Teichmann’s painting extracts the essence from what we are ostensibly familiar with and transforms traditional forms of existence into fragmentary fields of association. With his entirely separate and distinct imagery he is able to give the present an expression that is sensitive and critical in equal measure.
