Startgalerie im Museum auf Abruf: Christoph Holzeis – Links von der Schulter die Wolke (To the left of the shoulder the cloud)
Uncommented poetic
The title of this exhibit: “To the left of the shoulder the cloud” is taken from one of Ferdinand Schmatz’s poetical texts, which he had used to describe a painting. No wonder that all of these works appear like painted modern lyrics. The motives are always recognizable, but not clearly formulated. They seem to float in a space without any reference to anything, similar to hints, which only make sense to those who are in on a secret.
At times one allegedly believes to recognize paper pages and books in these large format paintings, but they could just as well be abstract lines or planes. The rather coarsely painted works are made using reduced colours, quasi-abstract compositions.
The works have their own poetry, which, similar to modern lyrics, does not originate from anything clearly recognizable, and seems to thrive on the aura it is surrounded by. Even though the artist has definitely found his own style, he cannot deny having worked with Schmalix. And it comes as no surprise that Christoph Holzeis studied German philology, philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy before he indulged in art. His art has a kind of theory-loaded effect.
