Eckehard Fuchs
http://eckehard-fuchs.blogspot.com
Eckehard Fuchs’ style of painting is formally predominated by many different impulses of visual codes originating from various aspects of art history. His subjects fathom interpersonal actions, deferred communication and distorted behavioural patterns. Narrative topics and its protagonists function as replacement characters of those human behavioural patterns and are foreshadowed in encoded gestures. The viewer has to look at various elements of the image together in order to decipher whether an encounter, repel, brewing or an adherence is illustrated. Formerly strictly set forms are now dissolved into loose systems of surfaces; the increasingly architecturally constructed space is yielding a pictorially composed image space. Incrementally only one person appears within the image, mostly a soft, only barely recognisable face behind floral structures – is the (pictorial) world becoming conciliatory?
