Jochen Klein
31st October until 13th December 1998
Preview Friday 30th October from 7-9 pm
Jochen Klein (1967-1997) paints landscapes that take the viewer on a
cruise filled with visual seduction and polymorphous adventures. Klein
shows us an alternative present that is not threatening. His paintings are
a map that we can play with in order to imagine ourselves somewhere
else.
One cannot simply look at Jochen Klein's paintings because one
always and already looks out of them.
