BIMBA II. Print

Digitally overworked from the original painting to create a different impression of the motive. Until now it was possible for mankind to set its elemental force against threat and the ability to withstand it, subjection and the ability to live on, danger and resistance, and R.MAX chose all these elemental experiences as central themes for his pictures. And therefore in his art you can find the unbroken hope that lets you feel the long breath of mankind's existential fight. His pictures, full of spectacular power and atmospheric denseness, are focussed straight at the viewer to attack him from every direction, to wrap him, to catch him. No doubt: these paintings are aimed or directed at immediate effect. They are unusually and provokingly radical. The secret of the apparent, a certain aestheticism of the subjectivity is indisputable and, in a strange way, associates the fascination and the irritation. A process of constant variation characterises all his work from the past three years. Thus there is none of the exhaustion of modern art to be found in his art. Both of his style trends are expressive without restraint and on all sides they convince about the synthesis of effect and nuance. It's quite amazing how firmly and radically he bends an often already conjured recognition of thel oss of utopia in art, and the look into the lack of prospects and ability to work. He ascends to visual phrasings which are not comparable to anything else in their blending of ecstatic, sensuous impulses, with gestures in painting of an impressive independence. One thing is obvious: he always tries to break open the fossilized structures and to create space for new experiences and ways of visual perception. R. MAX covered a new vital area in art that is often believed dead, and even more often declared dead. That was thanks to an elementary unleashing of colours and forms in conjunction with a controlled picture management. His art is becoming the way to express his inner self. The artist is at the same time both: outsider and genius, or rather victim and usurper. The art is its own aim and it strictly denies any association with any outer-aesthetic spheres. The analytic preoccupation with his works has nothing to do with a cold-blooded manner, but rather reveals the unusual creative power and energy of this remarkable artist...
