Explores the 'lost kingdoms' with brush, ink and colour. A
breathtakingly beautiful quest. In the age of mechanical
reproduction, many fail to appreciate intricate drawings made by
hand, hands having become mere obsolete instruments these days,
compared to the fast precision of the digital camera. Christian
Peltenburg-Brechneff's drawings capture what the camera can never
capture: the spirit of the places he has rendered. Brechneff takes
on the challenge of exploring and translating the architectural and
spiritual wonders of the 'lost' kingdoms of the Himalayas with
brush and ink and colour washes: Laddakh, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan,
India, Burma, Cambodia and Laos. Brought to life through
imaginative investment, Brechneff's subjects become more
mysterious, and preciously exciting than ever. They sparkle with
subjective life and become rapturously alive in a way that a
photograph could never be. The ancient architecture of India - many
old palaces and temples - and ageless mountains are already
inspired creations, with archetypal import, emphasising that
Brechneffs's journey to them is a spiritual journey. The intricate
drawings form a visual diary of his travels. Each drawing is dated,
and the place depicted named, indicating that the drawing is a
documentary as well as personal journal. Peltenburg-Brechneff
decodes and maps India's architecture and mountains with the hope
of grasping the secret of their creative dynamic, rather than only
preserving their dramatic appearance for posterity. Homage is a
breathtakingly beautiful spiritual quest.
