ALLAN OTTE NYE STRÆKNINGER 23.11.- 22.12.2012 Opening: 23.11.2012 at 5-8 PM CUBE: BJØRN POULSEN: RELIEF På separatudstillingen ”Nye Strækninger” i Galleri Tom Christoffersen udstiller Allan Otte en serie værker, som er forskellige maletekniske eksperimenter baseret på individuelle regler. Malerierne måler hver 1 m2, men udstrækkes i ti forskellige former: cirkulære, kvadratiske, ellipseformede, høje og brede. Landskabsmotivet, som er gennemgående, presses og strækkes ud i nye positioner, alt imens Allan Otte kommenterer landskabet som romantisk genre - bl.a. i en guldalderparafrase. Allan Otte vægter maleriets taktilitet og udforsker fortsat forholdet mellem motivets realisme og dets abstrakte kvaliteter – alt afhængigt af hvorfra og hvordan man betragter det. I højere grad end tidligere demonstrerer værkerne en omfattende leg med anderledes metoder, og der er en tæt udveksling mellem billedernes motiv, format og malemåde. Et maleri af en regnbue er eksempelvis opbygget af ca. 36.000 farvepletter, der samler sig som en optisk illusion, og et andet maleri af en pløjemark består af 171 striber. Både de systematiske arbejdsprocesser og de æstetiske valg er lagt frem i det enkelte billede. Det er velargumenterede malerier, der viser billedkunstnerens tekniske kunnen og de mange forskellige fortællinger, som Allan Ottes produktion rummer. Allan Otte holder artist talk i galleriet lørdag d. 08.12.2012 kl. 13. Text in English At ”Stretching New Land” at Galleri Tom Christoffersen Allan Otte presents a series of works, which are different experiments based on individual rules. Each painting measures 1 square meter but they come in all shapes: circular, square, elliptical, high and wide. The subject matter is displaced as well because Allan Otte comments on the landscape as romantic genre – e.g. a paraphase on a specifik Danish painting from the Golden Age. Allan Otte values the tactility of painting and continues to explore the relationship between the realisme og the subject matter and its abstract qualities – depending from where and how you look at it. The new works demonstrate a comprehensive play with different approaches to painting, and there is a close exhchange between the subject matter, the format and the manner of painting. A painting of a rainbow, for instance, consists of approx. 36,000 color patches that accumulates as an optical illusion, and in another painting a plowed field is insistingly build up of 171 stripes. Both the systematic work processes and the aesthetic choices are visible in each painting. We have to do with well-argued pictures, that demonstrates the technical skills and the very different stories that Allan Otte’s production consists of.
