Fritz Bornstück
프릿츠 본슈틱의 그림은 버려진 문명의 잊혀진 잔재들로 구성된다. 담배꽁초, 낡은 장난감, 빈 병, 깨진 전구 등은 작가의 '문화적 재활용'을 통해 재탄생한다. 그는 또한 이러한 쓰레기들을 종종 자연과 함께 배치하며 버려진 상태를 더욱 강조하기도 한다. 버려진 물건들은 작가의 붓터치를 통해 새로 자라는 꽃의 거름이 되기도, 또는 더러운 그 모습 그대로 주목받기도 하며 존재의 새로운 의미를 부여 받는다. 정물화와 풍경화의 회화적 전통에서부터 대중 문화, 영화, 그리고 그의 이웃의 쓰레기통의 내용물에 이르기까지 다양한 출처에서 영감을 찾는 본슈틱의 작업은 인류의 여러 파편들을 관찰하고 수집하는 과정을 토대로 한다. 작가는 이렇게 모아 온 수집품들을 진정성과 아이러니, 태연함과 노스탈지아, 우울함과 희망의 밸런스를 유지하며 보여준다.
Fritz Bornstück assembles his images with discarded remnants of civilization. Cigarette butts, weathered toys, empty bottles and broken lightbulbs are all reborn in a process that he describes as “cultural recycling.” These seemingly random piles of rubbish are often placed in tandem with nature, further underlining the abandoned nature of his motifs. Through the artist’s brushstrokes, the discarded items find a new meaning in their existence, whether it is being fertilized and giving way to new flowers, or simply being admired in its disarray. The artist finds inspiration in just as wide a range of sources, from artistic traditions of still life and landscape painting to popular culture, film, and the contents of his neighbour’s rubbish bins. Bornstück observes and collects fragments of humanity, and he presents his collections with both sincerity and irony, nonchalance and nostalgia, melancholy and hope.
