Stichting Kaus Australis and Andreas von Ow kindly invite you for:
Opening: Saturday 4-10-2014 at 15:00 till…..
Exhibition also open on Sunday 5-10-2014 from 15:00 till 19:00
Andreas von Ow’s colors are chosen from the materials he encounters in his surroundings. The environment itself becomes the materials, this then becomes pigments, then becomes monochrome images. This placement forms new correlations. Causal relationships drive the decision to use this or that colour at this or that place and at this or that time. Within the process of painting, the materials reveal themselves in many layers on the picture plane. For example the artist may use his vacuum cleaner on a particular place and use the contents of the vacuum cleaner’s bag for the painting on the wall.
The same happens with video images. Captured video material, along with the editing and the manner of presentation influence the image and its color. These are therefore equally involved in the process of becoming image.
The origin of the material (including film material) is indicated in the names of the works, but this remains secondary for the artist. The primary focus is the painting (or video) image itself (including the presentation). From the beginning, the main emphasis is always sensuous perception.
Andreas von Ow, born 1981 in Freiburg (GER), lives and works in Berlin and currently in Rotterdam.
