갤러리 담에서 독일작가 아스트로이 쾨페의 드로잉전을 기획하였다.
아스트로이 쾨페의 모티브의 세계는 구체적인 경험과 관찰에 그 기원을 두고 있다. 그녀는 인식된 것을 결합 혹은 변형시켜서 자신의 환상적이고 기묘한 우주로 변화시킨다. 같은 방식으로 관람자들은 그녀의 드로잉에 연상적으로 접근할 수 있다. 그녀가 그려낸 식물 또는 동물처럼 보이는 오브제는 대단히 조형적이고 촉각적인 경험을 할 수 있을 것으로 보이고 그리고 표면에 놀라운 매력을 보여준다. 우리는 그 안에 관목이나 아메바나 히드라와 같은 촉수동물들, 헤어스타일, 에어리언, 일상의 모든 사물들 감각적인 것과 무용적인 것들 사이의 기괴한 사물로 볼 수 있다. 물론 확신할 수 없다. 모티브들은 형태변형이 갑자기 포착된 것처럼, 혹은 디지털변형이 갑자기 된 것처럼 어딘가 익숙하거나 익숙하지 않은 것 사이에 존재하고 있다. 하지만 관람자는 언제나 자신의 지각으로 관심을 돌리게 되고 그곳에서 최대 가능한 모호함과 만나게 된다. 하지만 털, 직물, 머리카락 또는 가시와 같이 오브제의 정확한 묘사력에 놀라게 된다.
작가는 2년 전 영은미술관 레지던시 작가로 활동하면서 국내에 소개된 적이 있다. 이번 전시에서도 아스트로이의 드로잉 작업과 에나멜 페인팅을 20여 점 선보일 예정이다.
작가의 변
My work consists to a large amount of drawing. For more than ten years now, my works on paper are strictly in the same size: A4, portrait format. My drawings are mostly based on things I have actually seen - therefore, being in another country influences my work strongly. What I picture are subjective essences of objects, filtered through my kind of selective perception.
I do not invent forms, but sometimes reduce or exaggerate certain aspects, or compare or contrast it with similar shapes. By doing this, several ways of interpretation open up and I try to keep them as open as possible. In the finished works, the motifs can never actually be resolved entirely; rather, they recall something familiar that can scarcely be summed up in words.
The drawings I find satisfying are at the tipping point, so to speak; the objects shown are settled and unsettled at the same time. This balance between clarity and unclarity, certainty and uncertainty, interests me. In order to retain their ambivalence, my works are untitled on principle.
