Lukas Glinkowski: It's Difficult To Explain So I Stay Quiet
There are countless unanswered questions in painting. The painter Lukas Glinkowski does not even try to answer them. Instead, he constantly asks himself, and us, new ones.
Analogous to sampling in music, he presents a visual mash-up in his works. Fragments and props are transformed into a new whole whose meaning the viewers configure themselves: art- historical quotations and contemporary references are aesthetic or conceptual pointers without a pointing finger. In Glinkowski麓s painting it is not a matter of proposing a harmonious, coherent meaning, but of in dividual access, in which the viewpoint of the artist and that of the viewer need not necessarily coincide. This decidedly postmodern approach creates space for him to play with our seeing and thinking habits, a game which simultaneously permits chance, chaos and plurality or even brings the incommensurable together.
