WOLFGANG KESSLER - NORA GOMRINGER GEBUNDEN

Light  color  materiality. These are perhaps the most significant components of Wolfgang
Kessler's (b. 1953) paintings. An additional characteristic is the tranquility 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.
