Light, colour, materiality. These are perhaps the most significant
components of Wolfgang Kessler’s (b. 1962) paintings. An
additional characteristic is the tranquillity and introversion of
the figures, who are usually depicted individually before a black
background. In contemporary painting, this practice is unusual. At
the same time, it touches upon recollected images and a notion of
beauty that are buried in our cultural memory. When the question
arises as to whether painting is or may be beautiful, one likes to
look far back to art-historical frames of reference. One might
arrive, for instance, at Delacroix’s works, which started to
engage with subjects that extended beyond the common notion of
beauty. Terribly Beautiful - Wolfgang Kessler is a painter of quiet
yet aggressive, power. The comprehensive publication offers a
detailed insight into Wolfgang Kessler's complete paintings from
2013-2022. Text in English and German.Â
