Christian Feneck

Artist Christian Feneck combines his architectural training with painting, print, and installation art to create visual experiences of space using color. Motivated by the belief that the body, with all its senses, is the primary way we come to know the world around us, he has found visual perception to be the primary motivation for the design and understanding of architectural space and has developed a painting technique to further explore this belief. Feneck’s paintings explore the relationship of vision and the understanding of space by using architectural perspective conventions in combination with a layered series of translucent color fields. The interaction of the various types and relative amounts of colors, and the seemingly infinite degrees of change between them creates movement and depth, forming layered compositions with a wide variety of spatial conditions. In this way, his work does not investigate a particular narrative or present any explicit message. Instead Feneck’s work highlights the fundamental role perception plays in our engagement and understanding of the world. It is the truth of our experience. Our perception is our reality. It is this shared phenomena that unites us.
