From May 24 to July 07 Biennale participant Tilmann Krumrey is making a guest appearance in Chur, Switzerland, at Luisia Capaul Gallery.
His painting „Das Grüne Land ll“ 130 x 210 cm, oil on canvas, 2020-2023, can be seen for the first time and exclusively at Galerie Luisia Capaul, Vazerolgasse 6, CH-7000 Chur.
Tilmann Krumrey (1966) stems from a family of artistic personalities and has a strong bauhaus heritage through his father Immo Krumrey. His father (1923-2013) was student number 12 at the legendary hfg (Ulm School of Design) -the so-called second bauhaus – and studied with such great artists, designers and scientists as Peterhans, Albers, Baravalle, Itten, Klee and Bense. Krumrey Senior was one of the four members of class Bill at hfg, which was founded by Otl Aicher, Inge Scholl and bauhaus graduate Max Bill, the charismatic Swiss sculptor and architect, who became the first director at hfg ulm.
Tilmann Krumrey is himself a well-known sculptor and can be seen here in a rare opportunity as a painter. In his painting, he realizes sculptural ideas on the one hand and spaces beyond this physical reality on the other, by confronting abstraction and color as a quality of its own with figuration or by placing figures in inner spaces and landscapes seen only in dreams or visions. The artist’s magnificent work on display here shows this view into an otherworldly world in which the laws of physics are suspended and which is populated by beings unknown to us. Nonetheless, by overlapping and interweaving with fragments of reality on this side, the picture shows that the hereafter is not a separate or an inaccessible space, but that there are manifold interdependencies and interactions.
