Paul Wackers: Parts of everything that are pieces of everything are all around us
The New York based artist is first of all concerned with figurative painting, which he tends to slightly abstract. Pauls pictures are engaged in non-places, vegetable landscapes with bookshelves and window ledges, offering an insight in a parallel reality. Deserted spaces reflect an inner perception and remind the beholder of the still-life鈥檚 by the well-known Dutch classics e.g. Willem van Aelst.
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.
