Thomas Ott and Simone F. Baumann: Black Holes
Thomas Ott has been one of the artists represented by the gallery for many years. The exhibition title 鈥淪chwarze L枚cher / Black Holes鈥� is at the same time the title of his recent work in scratch board, which will be shown for the first time.
It was the artist鈥檚 suggestion to incorporate original drawing by Simone F. Baumann in the exhibition. Two years ago, Thomas Ott became aware of the twenty-two-year-old woman from Zurich when she received the Comic Scholarship from the City of Zurich.
In addition to her artistic means of expression and that she expressively visualizes her ideas in black and white, she primarily combines the thematic. Relentlessly and with wit they take humanity under the microscope, while above all the finiteness of life is often countered with black humor. Without taboos, the abysses, perverse inclinations and negative qualities of the human are described. Every now and then one thinks to recognize autobiographical traits in the subject. Although the real world is the source of inspiration 鈥� at the center of the human being 鈥� however, the imagesare so surreal and absurd that they seem to be borrowed from a nightmare rather than reality.
