Christoph Steinmeyer - Loebke Matthia
(G)
KORTE INHOUD
The D?sseldorf artist born in 1967 and who also resides in Berlin belongs to a generation of painters who question the authenticity of the medium as much as the provenance of its pictorial compositionality. Since the mid-1990s Christoph Steinmeyer has devoted himself to a magical symbolism, which leads both his subject matter and style of his painting into an area of hybridism, yet creating a dangerous but well-founded liaison. One might say that the surfaces of the luxurious interiors or the surfaces with their synthetic effect or the bold, colour-field still lifes of flowers look as though they have been melted in the flame of a Bunsen Burner. However, they aren't amalgamations in which mass-media images are merely transformed into painting or the ?stories? are faded out, but rather the artist refers to collective ideas of medially transmitted patterns and models that he transfers into a new and likewise imagined ideal type.
