Déjà apprécié du public
allemand, Hanns Schimansky reste à découvrir en France.
Né en 1949 en Allemagne de l’Est, il a exposé au
Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe (2003), au Musée d’art
et d’histoire de Neuchâtel (2000), au Sprengel Museum
(Hanovre, 1998), au Museum Schloss Morsbroich (Leverkusen, 1994),
au Folkwang Museum (Essen, 1991) et à la Neue Nationalgalerie
(Berlin, 1990). En 1997, il devient membre de l’Académie
de Berlin, puis professeur à la Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee
l’année suivante.
Exclusivement dessinateur, il promène son pinceau, son crayon
ou sa plume sur la feuille. Il attend le hasard, le provoque, et recherche
l’énergie du dessin.
Already
well known in Germany, the work of Hanns Schimansky has yet to
be discovered in France. The Karsten Greve Gallery is pleased to
present a selection of his recent works.
Working exclusively as a draftsman, Hanns Schimansky moves his brush,
his pencil, or his pen over sheets of paper from the size of post-cards
as well as large formats. In a balance between randomness and control,
he seeks the energy that is produced by the pressure of his hand
on the paper with its vibrations and rhythm.
The more or less geometric shapes and frail or incisive lines make
up a vocabulary of elements that are assembled according to different
combinations on the sometimes previously folded paper. From left
to right, from top to bottom or backwards, the network of lines creates
a very open form of writing that unrolls, is cut across with color,
with spots and painted surfaces. A history thus unfolds with its
breaths, its quickening of pace and its timbre: that of lines that
cross or avoid each other, fields of color and pathways that link
them together.
These kinds of “scriptural landscapes” evolve within
a particular space. The back and the front of the paper meet each
other and transgress the boundaries of within and without. The partially
folded paper, which keeps the horizontal vertical framework of its
folding, preserves the cracks and hidden spaces with different framings.
