JANUS HOCHGESAND
EINE HALBE KIRCHE BLUMEN
Janus Hochgesand (b. 1981 in Dierdorf, lives and works in Hamburg) refers to his paintings as 'High Intensity Paintings'—works in which form and content are condensed and characterized by a high concentration of layered materials. The paintings are created through a process in which the artist removes generously poured pigments from the canvas using a broom or vacuum cleaner, repeatedly working the surface by adding and subtracting material. In the overlapping layers of color, the artist draws on the aesthetics of Abstract Expressionism and Art Informel, but condenses these influences into his own performative approach to painting.
