Friedrich Einhoff
The catalogue "Friedrich Einhoff. 100+" includes 100 works on paper by the Hamburg-based artist Friedrich Einhoff (1936-2018) as well as 32 further works on canvas dating from various periods of his work. Einhoff's pieces, which employ a wide range of painting and drawing techniques, all revolve around the central image of humankind and its ambivalent and fragile nature. Anonymous traces of figures, torn off fragments of bodies and facial contours oscillate between concentration and dissolution and speak to an image of humankind that is subject to constant change. In their alienation, displacement and fragmentation, in their isolated juxtaposition, his figures search for their sacrosanct state of being.
Friedrich Einhoff: Darkroom
It is the human figure, its formal reduction and expression that forms one core of Friedrich Einhoff's work: equally important are elements that are not immediately representational. Amorphous forms extend the picture surface but also suggest abstract body shapes.Einhofff's process of artistic creation is permeated by his search for an efficacious method of drawing to express the ambivalent and fragile nature of human existence.The figure is not simply depicted in a photorealistic manner; instead he invents the figure and places it in its own world, a pictorial world. In this semiotic model the subjectivity of the symbol with its existential connections becomes tangible.Published to accompany the exhibition at LEVY Galerie, Hamburg, 25 September – 6 November 2012.English and German text.
