Paul Wackers: In a House Of Shiting Forms
In this exhibition, Paul Wackers presents a series of still lifes in which flowers and shelves are fused into strange and enigmatic forms.
The works exemplify some of the most enduring themes in his oeuvre  -  intimate landscape, plants and colored artifacts  -  while also revealing fresh creative impulses and subtle but significant shifts in his pictorial practice.
The regular order of the objects seems to be maintained by the image. Cans, candleholder and empty vases fill up the interior. But at a second glance straight and twisty lines disturb the familiar impression. Formally the geometrical aspects of the composition subsist side by side to the organic elements. The traces of individual interpretation become visible on the plane canvas and on the wooden panel.
