Fritz Hörauf: Gemälde, Zeichnungen, Plastiken, Architektur [German]

By Fritz Hörauf

Working in a highly poetic, spiritual, and often magically precise and detailed style reminiscent of the proficiency of Old Masters, Fritz H rauf delves, at the beginning of his journey, into regions prior to the advent of man and civilization. Caves, cliffs and dark seas harbor geniis and androgynous angels, half man, half woman, wandering along inorganic zones of black and grey. They seem to be in a state waiting their birth into the light. Symmetrical signs of alchemy appear and bring order into a yet chaotic state. Egyptian, Greek, Celtic, Medieval, Gothic and otherworldly sites, painted with an astonishing multidimensionality, appear at a later phase in his time travel. Portals, archaic sanctuaries and temples which have been or could be built reveal visions and initiatory rites of forgotten myths. Fairies, elves and unicorns fuse with the melodies of idyllic landscapes uncorrupted by destructive forces. Portraits of beings, carriers into the unknown, emanate a singular atmosphere of knowledge.
