Evoking Landscapes: A Semi-Abstract Approach
Unlike the European tradition of landscape painting, which since the Renaissance has been largely defined by linear perspective and the notion of a „view through a window,“ the Asian tradition is rooted in what may be called circumspective vision. Here, the eye does not gather at a distant vanishing point. Instead, the human being as a whole enters the space. One becomes part of the landscape.
This understanding of painted landscape space resonates deeply with the artist Uwe Kästner. Whether in the open lowlands of Rügen island, near the floodwaters of the Elbe, or beside the broad expanses of lakes and inland waters, he absorbs the landscape into himself, allowing it to pass through the mist of mind and heart.
Semi-abstractly, as a spatial illusion, it then re-emerges in small formats through graphite, ink, and watercolor. Thanks to the circumspective quality described above, these miniatures can be enlarged to monumental scale, becoming almost walkable for the viewer.
Here, the silence of space prevails. It unfolds like a soul in freedom, only to dissolve far, far away into love.
