Hans Georg Koehler: Physis (Kerber Art)

After a long immersion in abstract painting, Hans Georg Koehler's art has stepped into the starkest of figurative expressions, disclosing human figures that evoke Francis Bacon in their vulnerability to the painterly voids that surrounds them, and in their aura of indefinable anguish. Koehler defines this tension as a "correlation between the precisely planned and defined picture and the representation of cricking figures tearing lumps off themselves."
