About this artwork
Based on a reclining nude, the artist painted this mountain landscape. It remains unclear whether the many lines represent paths, structures, blood vessels or nerves. In any case, they have the function of holding the image in the composition, stabilizing it and keeping it from bleeding or chaos. A fragile balance. This picture was taken after the artist's last stay in the Upper Engadin this year, when he repeatedly had the experience of how fragile…
the mountains have become, how the stories of landslides have increased. Thus, in the picture for him also the threat of a place of longing.

« I paint landscapes that are less concerned with naturalistic reproduction as they are with capturing rhythms, the empty spaces in the landscape. »
It was his discovery of a surrealist exhibition in Munich at age 16 that set Oppermann on an artistic path. Inspired by mountains since childhood, he partners ‘en plein air’ painting with studio work to create unique representations of natural landscapes and people in motion.
