About this artwork
Diptych (consist of 2 artworks)
Symmetry runs through the whole history of art from the ancient times until now.
"..."
A human eye is repulsed not only by the obvious anti-symmetry, but also by perfect symmetry. This claim is an easy one to prove - one can take any sculptural imagery, an African mask or Roman portrait, cut it in halves and reflect one half in a mirror. The image will be ideal symmetry-wise but will be increasingly difficult to… look at.
"..."
One of the tasks of the series “Before and After” is to overcome the inner resistance of technology which is crucial to creation of symmetrical images. What is perceived as a fault will soon be an asset.
"..."
By means of symmetrical separation a new object, which previously existed only in space, gains a new dimension, namely time. In these works time “appears” in the process of division and the subsequent synthesis.

« It is very likely that the digital revolution taking place before our eyes will radically change art. And if I'm lucky, I can reflect these changes in my paintings. »
Alexander Lufer is an experienced painter based in Germany whose work has been featured in solo and group shows internationally. With a background in architecture, Lufer developed his artistic practice inspired by the Dutch Vanitas and artists like Jeff Koons. Working in oil on canvas, he explores themes of technology and the tension between tradition and modernity through altered landscapes and unexpected still lifes.
