Sven-Ole Frahm

Galerie Markus Winter, Berlin

Juicy Dub. Phenomenologically speaking, artist's pictures embody an inverse structuralism. The 'Cut and Paste' of the canvas marks a radical, irreversible intervention into the more spontaneous paintings created by the 'pouring and dripping' faction. The paintings, confronting a structure developed in parallel, are however, not derived from it. The colourful canvas is more the starting point, to be understood as the material for the processes of transformation, the chronology and order of which finding refuge in an non- hierarchical treatment of both subject matter and composition. The painting itself becomes the raw material in the sculptural sense. (Excerpt from Abstrakte Verwerfungen by Heike van den Valentyn, Compilation III, Dumont)
