Josef Achrer / Pro-jection and Ab-straction
06. 06. 2016 - 28. 07. 2016
Kvalitář / Praha 1
The exhibition Pro-jection and Ab-straction at Kvalitář presents a selection of works from Josef Archrer’s DATA series. It began to take shape during the artist’s stay in the Chinese capital in 2013. His fundamental constitution of a landscape painter enabled him to be confronted with the extensive technical infrastructure and the pervasion of the virtual world with public space. It revolves around the principle of projection: the sides and reverse of his objects Achrer paints in RGB, which, when installed, is reflected on the white background of a wall. The effect is similar to one of a television or a computer monitor, which generate the image behind the projection screen. Thus the pieces produce a subtle play of light, evocative of the artist’s feelings from Beijing, the city “full of contrasts, energy and RGB light.”
