Verified profile

These works are part of the project conceived by Scheibitz for the Maramotti Collection in 2011, consisting of a total of three large canvases and a sculpture, where neither the sculpture is a three-dimensional extension of the iconography of the picture, nor the paintings repeat the typology bidimensionally. of sculpture images. While the latter appears as a possible monumental version of a hieroglyph extrapolated from an unknown language, the three works on canvas rather implement an abstract representation that evokes and mythifies the scene and the plastic elements of the supremacist theater and the Bauhaus. In the complex compositional structure of the works of Scheibitz, one of the most significant contemporary German artists (in 2005 he represented Germany at the Venice Biennale), the varied iconic and tectonic elements constitute or allude to abstract, para-geometric transpositions of figures and signs taken from the collective deposit of images that historical visual culture and different media, from advertising to cinema, make available today. In the process of pictorial construction carried out by the artist, these elements are always characterized by an accentuated perspective inscription, which has remained constant in the evolution of his language. An analogous procedure is manifested in his sculptures: the artist hermetically transposes the figures he has collected in the systematic exploration of the collective visual imagination into abstract plastic articulations, evolving the quotation into invention. For this reason he regularly makes works on canvas and three-dimensional structures coexist in his exhibitions.
