The works of Crash-Stop - Haunted Colors



For a pure vision is concerned not with space and objects but with color, which must indeed be concerned with objects but not with spatially organized objects . As an art, painting starts from nature and moves cumulatively toward form. The concern of color with objects is not based on their form; without even touching on them empirically, it goes right to the spiritual heart of the object by isolating the sense of sight.

Walter Benjamin




Be it a soft alienation or a complete dissolution of structure: Graphical glitch art is a form of color manipulation. Some of the works shown in this room are conventional paintings from the artist's beginnings that he later "glitched", others are most recent generative pieces. While some allow us to guess which object was initially depicted, most of them have fully transitioned into the abstract - for some viewers, they might seem remiscent to the straight squares of Mondrian or the pure colors of Míro. Others might remind us of the distortions of screens without a clean signal, which were omnipresent a few decades ago, but are now usually hidden from sight by the manufacturers of consumer hard- and software. Finally, some works appear liquified - the clean, digital structure is molten and seemingly replaced by a free flow of colors.

The unifying element of all pictures is the artifical, alien, and yet (for we have become citizens of the digital realm they come from) strangely familiar colors that were enraptured from our daily experience realm to be, shifted and rearranged, presented to us in this room.
