Sediments

The Berlin-based artist Clemens Krauss is known for his impasto paintings, in which he explores the relationship between the individual and the vast, broad masses. In his new series of works, “Sediments”, he now turns his attention for the first time to the material, the concrete and the object-like. 

In Krauss’s paintings, the human figure is now replaced by buildings, surfaces and objects as vessels of temporality, history and memory. Therefore, the focus shifts from interpersonal relationships to the physicality of things, whilst at the same time creating a distance from the anthropocentric perspective.
