He is particularly interested in the way in which painting ultimately involves turning experienced reality into constructed abstraction through the framing of the subject, the transference of photographic composition onto canvas, the selection of colour and finally the application of the paint, each step a conscious departure from experience.

German artist Thoralf Knobloch presents a group of paintings based on his observation of the environment in and around his native Dresden. Knobloch works directly from carefully composed photographs, exploring the process by which reality is transformed into image through the material process of painting.

In each of the finished works the subject and any suggestion of narrative become secondary to the formal elements of the painting, so that a work such as Blaue Baracke, 2004 is less a sociological comment on the scarred landscape of the former Eastern Germany than a meditation on composition, form and colour. Despite this, these paintings invite the viewer into the pictorial space, so that in the imagination we stand in front of the goal post, for example, alongside the artist at the start of the image-making process.

Johannes Wohnseifer Paintings and Exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery
By: InventaTechnologies | 08/09/2007 | Art
Johannes Wohnseifer presents the fictitious elements of an attempted assassination. Based on the story of the man who tried to kill president Ronald Reagan - John Hinckley – it presents him as pleading 'not guilty' based on the fact that he saw the movie 'Taxi Driver' by Martin Scorsese so many times that it was an 'Irresistible Impulse' for him to try to kill the president of the United States.

Martina Steckholzer’s paintings offer a poetic ambience suggesting an infinite nothingness of space.

Thomas Scheibitz a German Artist at the Saatchi Gallery

Thomas Scheibitz's vast canvases can be an unsettling experience: the brightly colored surfaces of his paintings manage simultaneously to convey unbridled energy and leave one inexplicably cold. It is precisely this paradox that enables the German artist to so successfully evoke the malaise of contemporary culture.

Marlene Dumas a German Artist at the Saatchi Gallery
By: InventaTechnologies | 30/08/2007 | Art
Marlene Dumas presents a corruption of innocence. Her portrayal of a young child with its clothes lifted over its head immediately gives way to dark thoughts of sexuality and exploitation. The controversy isn't in the images Marlene Dumas paints, but in the way they're subverted by an implied knowingness, a blatant confrontation with a natural reality and its discomforts.Marlene Dumas makes paintings with no concept of the taboo.

Luc Tuymans a German Artist at the Saatchi Gallery
By: InventaTechnologies | 30/08/2007 | Art
Luc Tuymans's paintings delve into the inner workings of how mythology is created. The reality of Luc Tuymans's work is almost 'twee', pleasing images of a lampshade or leopard-skin rug pass quite comfortably as aesthetic totems; it's only their cognitive association with the Holocaust, or atrocities of the Belgian Congo, that encapsulates the true banality of evil - the unspeakable horror in a teacup, the monstrous potential of an empty bath.

Johannes Wohnseifer a German Artist at the Saatchi Gallery
