Cocakieke. Couples, rockers or single demon-like creatures are suspended in mid-air, at times striking a pose, at times floating smoothly.
Levitation is the central motif in the new works of Moritz Schleime. Couples, rockers or single demon-like creatures are suspended in mid-air, at times striking a pose, at times floating smoothly. Separated from their surroundings, some figures seem to disintegrate and merge with the background or even to vanish into thin air.
Their floating is marked by a sense of finiteness. The reduced narrative topics set these paintings apart from older works. They do not tell a romantic, playful story but rather describe an actual condition that Schleime relates to a general sentiment in society. His characters are, in the sense of Chagall, protagonists of a fragmented society, in which everyone has found their niches, bravely ‘enduring their solitary suffering’.
Schleime himself lives through the highs and lows of an artist’s existence. Even if he keeps regarding his subjects as a way of ironically describing his empiricism, with his new works he takes to a new field of painting, liberating colours and visibly demonstrating a new appetite for creating pictures. As regards content and pictorial execution Schleime’s recent paintings reflect an inner rising that arouses the viewer’s curiosity.
