Description Fragmentarische Kargheit und leere LandschaftenThoralf Knobloch (geb. 1962 in Bautzen, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin) gehört zu jener namhaften Phalanx ostdeutscher Maler, die unter großer Beachtung neue figürliche Positionen in die Gegenwartskunst bringen. Der Künstler studierte zeitgleich mit Eberhard Havekost, Frank Nitsche und Thomas Scheibitz an der Hochschule der Bildenden Künste in Dresden. Knoblochs Gemälde zeigen das Alltägliche; scheinbar belanglose Motive, wahrgenommen in der nächsten Umgebung. Sein Blick ist dabei distanziert, wertfrei, jedoch nicht ohne Anteilnahme. Seine Arbeiten wirken seltsam entrückt, dem Zeitlichen enthoben. Indem Knobloch das Bildgeschehen einem temporalen Verlauf entzieht und es damit aus einem erzählenden Zusammenhang löst, lenkt er die Wahrnehmung des Betrachters auf den Bildgegenstand und hält ihn dazu an, diesen mit eigenen Erinnerungen auszufüllen. Das Buch erscheint zu Knoblochs Ausstellungen im Kunstmuseum Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus (2012) und in der Städtischen Galerie Dresden (2013). Dargestellt werden darin die verschiedenen Werkphasen Knoblochs sowie neue Motive aus seiner letzten großen Amerikareise.Mit Texten von Max Henry, Perdita von Kraft, Johannes Schmidt und Jörg Sperling.

Publisher Description

Thoralf Knobloch (b. Bautzen 1962; lives and works in Berlin) is among the renowned phalanx of EastGerman painters who have attracted a great deal of attention by bringing new figurative positions back to contemporary art. The artist trained at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, where Eberhard Havekost, Frank Nitsche, and Thomas Scheibitz were his fellow students. Knobloch's paintings show the mundane world; ostensibly trivial motifs he has observed in his immediate environment. His gaze is distant, impartial, though not without sympathy. His works seem strangely aloof, abstracted from the temporal world. By withdrawing the painted action from any sequence of events, isolating it from narrative contexts, he renders the beholder aware of the object he depicts, urging him to complete it by supplying his own recollections. The book is published in conjunction with the exhibition of Knobloch's work at the Kunstmuseum Dieselkraftwerk, Cottbus (2012), and the Städtische Galerie Dresden (2013). It offers a survey of the different periods of Knobloch's oeuvre and presents new motifs from his most recent grand tour of America.
