About The Artwork

Part of the series "Gardens of Wabi Sabi" Limited Edition #2 of 6 + 2 AP Printed on Hahnemühle FinArt Photo media, archival quality, incl. signed Certificate of Authenticity with edition number. We leave a white boarder for better handling. _ EXCERPT: ......... From the photographed impression to perceived photography Karl Blossfeld photographed airy floral arabesques. Albert Renger-Patzsch photographed chimney stacks growing into the sky. It is almost as though you can vividly perceive their objects just from the description. In new functionalism, photography was employed apodictically, to make it possible to work in more than just a documentary way. The impression left by the object was “captured on canvas”. In this way, “character images” of machines, buildings etc.emerged. So what is different when Helmut Rueger says that he “photographs the feeling”? It is not only a question of the location. The new functionalist photographer conveys what he “sees”. While Helmut Rueger involves himself in the game with the object, in his perception, he becomes a part of the object being viewed. In the words of Helmut Rueger: “Here is a brief description of what I feel when I view the pictures in question, or also when focussing while setting up a picture: Quietness, calmness, closeness to nature or the object; being able to relate to a situation or a mood. I have a good, warm feeling which, if I get involved in it long enough, gives me strength and energy. In this respect, the wheel turns full circle – because it is usually the power, the strength of the simplicity of the subject which attracts me.” ........ Dr. C. Haertl-Kasulke _ A "ready to hang" version is available. Perfectly mounted in a wooden frame of manual production, either cream white (RAL 9001) or graphite black (RAL 9011) with acrylic glas "UV 100" as front.

Helmut Rüger is a German artist, living and working in the Greater Frankfurt area. First trained as a banker, in the following years he established an imports company trading with japanese art and decoration products. Over time he gradually transitioned from business into art and photography. Initially mainly documenting art and japanese garden design for editorials. While running a photostudio in the 90s he continued to travel frequently to far east. Far more than 50 journeys to Japan had a considerable influence on his view of life. Especially his perception on objects and their aesthetic presence gradually changed and he developed an understanding for Tanisaki`s motivation to write the essay on japanese aesthetics „In the praise of shadows“. When he was asked once why he engages in photography and his motivation of creating specific series he stated: "I photograph the feeling which moves me when I view something". As a quiet, introverted person he is able to watch things and scenes and absorbe their energy. To exchange his experiences and feelings with others, photography is the appropriate medium. At best an emotinal accordance araises with the viewer. Helmut Rüger`s work is held in numerous private collections internationally as well as in corporate collections.
