German artist Thoralf Knobloch presents a group of paintings based on his observation of the environment in and around his native Dresden. Knobloch works directly from carefully composed photographs, exploring the process by which reality is transformed into image through the material process of painting. BIOGRAPHY Born in Bautzen Lives and works in Dresden SOLO EXHIBITIONS Zweifel und Ruhe, Wilkinson Gallery London Landpartie und Kuckucksruf, Galerie Michael Neff, Frankfurt/Main Streif-&Jagdzüge, Galerie Gebr.Lehmann, Dresden GROUP EXHIBITIONS Fehlfarben, Galerie Neue Meister, Gläserne Manufaktur von Volkswagen Dresden Future/five artists from Germany, Sandroni.Rey Gallery, Los Angeles Painting Show, Anthony Wilkinson Gallery, London Galerie Michael Neff featuring Galerie Gebr.Lehmann, Frankfurt/Main Thoralf Knobloch works the subject and any suggestion of narrative become secondary to the formal elements of the painting, so that a work such as Blaue Baracke, 2004 is less a sociological comment on the scarred landscape of the former Eastern Germany than a meditation on composition, form and colour. Despite this, these paintings invite the viewer into the pictorial space,He is particularly interested in the way in which painting ultimately involves turning experienced reality into constructed abstraction through the framing of the subject, the transference of photographic composition onto canvas, the selection of colour and finally the application of the paint, each step a conscious departure from experience.
