Riassunto

Moody scenes captured in electric colors, Trenkler&;s paintings invite viewers to get lost in his world.

Leif Trenkler is regarded as one of the most important German painters of the new figuration movement, which revived figurative art after a period dominated by abstraction. Trenkler is known internationally for his technicolor landscapes, nuanced technique, and unusual medium of oil paint on wood. Inspired by his extensive travels, Trenkler&;s paintings transport viewers to places of longing: silent riverbanks, Hockney-esque pool scenes, and pictures of clear, starry nights. This attractively designed volume features more than one hundred color illustrations of work from over thirty years, complemented and contextualized by subtle essays from art critics Stephanie Götsch and Gottfried Knapp.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Leif Trenkler (b. 1960) is regarded as one of the most important protagonists of New Figuration in Germany. He has played an important role in this contemporary movement and has achieved international success. His fascinating painting is created by using new colour constructions, a nuanced technique and unusual compositions employing oil on wood.

Trenkler’s works have a magical aura about them. Inspired by the artist’s numerous journeys, they transport us to places of longing: silent river landscapes, pool scenes that reflect photographic elements and pictures of clear starry nights. Through the artist’s interest in the development of an emotional mood and the attendant rigorously focused structure, Trenkler’s pictures correspond to his own philosophy of multiple layers. The attractively designed volume shows work from over 30 years, rounded out by a subtle essay by Gottfried Knapp.
