Painting is a material way of thinking through systems: landscape, water, bodies, spaces and nocturnal scenes appear as condensed visual structures.
The paintings are a material way of thinking through systems. Through surface, colour, gesture and accumulation, Florian Mehnert investigates how structures emerge, overlap and become visible.
The archive is grouped into four image fields: woods, water, scenes and night paintings.
Woods
Forest spaces, roots, paths, water courses and dense vegetal structures become painterly systems of orientation and compression.
Water
Water surfaces, rivers and sea images are treated as moving fields between depth, reflection and painterly rhythm.
Scenes
Interior and exterior scenes connect bodies, rooms, objects and narrative fragments into open painterly situations.
Night
Nocturnal and dream-like paintings shift landscape and scene into unstable spaces of memory, shelter and projection.
