Hi Altitude 2019 21

About

a memory of the future
and a precognition of the prehistoric                                                                   painting / collage / fact & fiction

Painting, that re-connects the wired digital brain with geographical distant features, locations and rituals. Who would deny, that the genome editing process, abandoned bombing test sites or the astronauts space capsule are not so different from the fire and its shadows inside the prehistoric cave. Landscape, figuration and abstraction do mingle in the new series of paintings by Klaus Hu, based on recycled drawings and collages. Shown are distant landscapes and prehistoric geoglyphs. Are the images a premonition or do they represent a memory? A momentum of standstill or signs of restart? Contrasted in the exhibition space of Villa Heike, painting becomes a narrative refuge as shelter and the stage of multiple references and geographies.

The paintings, graphites and collages developed from 2019 to 2021 will be first shown from 16th June 2022 till 3rd of July 2022 in Berlin at Villa Heike.
