Finissage: Philipp Groth “Hide Your Face” + “Athari” präsentiert von stylistberlin

Der Künstler Philipp Groth wurde für die erste von stylistberlin kuratierte Austellung im Stattbad ausgewählt. Im Zuge des Call For Artists wird er die Bildreihen “Athari” sowie “Hide Your Face” zeigen.

Die Inspiration zu “athari” entstammte der Idee Fotografie und Gemaltes zusammen zu etwas Surrealem verschmelzen zu lassen. Der Hintergrund entstand ausschließlich mit Tinte und Feder während im Vordergrund das fotografische Material dominiert.

Die Bilderreihe “Hide Your Face” ist Groths neustes Werk in dem er auf irreale Weise das klassische Portrait entfremdet und das Gewöhnliche unwirklich interpretiert.
Groth fragt, ob ein verstecktes Gesicht mit totaler Anonymität gleichzusetzen ist, oder wird allein durch die Wahl des verdeckenden Gegenstandes sein Inneres nach Außen gekehrt.

Entstanden sind die vorliegenden Collagen durch Pinsel und Farbe, die die Umrisse der abgebildeteten Person andeuten, und durch Fotografien, die verschiedenen Persönlichkeiten reflektieren.

Finissage: Philipp Groth “Hide Your Face” & “Athari” presented by stylistberlin

The artist Philipp Groth was selected to show his works at the first exhibition curated by stylistberlin at Stattbad. He will be exhibiting works from his ‘Athari’ and ‘Hide Your Face’ series.

The inspiration for “Athari” came from the idea of merging photography and painting together to create a surreal blend. The background was created solely with pen and ink and the foreground out of photographic material. Looked at closely Athari is more dream than reality.

The selection “Hide Your Face” are Groth’s latest works. By alienating the classical concept of a portrait in a surrealistic way, the artist interprets the growing wish of hiding in namelessness. Groth questions if a hidden face is to equate with total anonymity.

The works are collages of photos blended with paint. While the paint illustrates the shapes of individuals, the photographs reflect their internal world.
