 Michael
Schaffer
Statement:
"Michael Schaffer exposes his dark and contemplative art, abstracting and trancending his paintings to timeless worlds and figures. "
Exposition:
I could describe my latest water colour paintings as results of a crossing of
a border or also as meta-painting.
For me they represent an entry into an imaginary room, seeming to lie beyond the limits of our horizon
of our reason and experience, and they invite the viewer to follow me.
There the painter faces a free floating of forms, colours and associations, followed by a deepening consciousness of
interdependent ideas.
The artist's agreement to intuition and reasoning.
For the painter it is the wonder at forms gained, an imaginary /aesthetic reduction to structures
without time and place, and thus to archetypical characters. It is the painter's look into the
essential, into the essence behind appearance, or simply into the origins.
For the painter it is the synomym for the denial of the visible world, of the human point of view, the limited recognition.
For the painter it is the admiration for the untouched material of "form and colour", which is meant to be
extended and continued into space, with the anticipation of a hidden sense.
For the painter it is the contemplation of the divine flame, the craving light of inspiration. "
