Eva Kunze in Landshut

Light-filled oil paintings by Eva Kunze are now being exhibited in the New Gallery in the Gothic Stadel in Landshut. Her early sympathies for the Junge Wilde style of the 80s is clearly visible. But the artist has found new ways of creating form through the transparent and super-intense layers of oil color. Primeval forms emerge full-blown out of the color, as though the viewer were inside Precambrian era macrostructures. Out of the lightening of this color storm, arise evolutionary associations, floral arabesques, black symbolic elements, and dripping traces of color. The color is alive. It moves through the pictures and takes form. Nebulous streaks of color thicken into oceanic depth or cosmic breadth, swirling to dynamic or playful elements of form, that, as though they were under a magnifying glass, condense into landscape reliefs through the plasticity of the thick reds, blues, and greens.
