    Jonas Weichsel

    Jonas Weichsel creates minimalist paintings of uncanny precision and impalpability, which upon closer inspection translate into sensuous, lived experiences. Early on, Weichsel developed his unique analytical and systematic painting technique, which he continues to pursue often combining digital and plotting techniques with hand-painted elements to explore the possibilities and limits of painting and the boundaries between immateriality and a tangible, material presence. His paintings inherit a deceptive simplicity and unfold their full power only in the contemplation of the original.

    Jonas Weichsel, born 1982 in Darmstadt, Germany, first studied in Mainz and Düsseldorf before completing his Meisterschüler with Judith Hopf at Städelschule Frankfurt. In 2016, he was awarded a residency at the Villa Romana in Florence, Italy. In 2012, he won the Karl Schmidt-Rottluff Stipendium after having been awarded the Dies Academicus—the Prize of the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz—alongside a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes in 2009. Recent solo exhibitions include Oldenburger Kunstverein (2021), Joseph Albers Museum, Bottrop (2018), Museum Wiesbaden (2016), and Deutsche Bundesbank, Frankfurt a.M. (2013). Important group exhibitions include the Museum of Modern Art, Frankfurt (2018; 2017; 2011), Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne (2017), Kunstverein Braunschweig (2016), Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (2016), Villa Romana, Florence, Italy (2016), Frankfurter Kunstverein (2015), Kunsthalle Wiesbaden (2015), Kunsthalle Mainz (2015; 2010), Kunstraum Bethanien, Berlin (2015), Salondergegenwart, Hamburg (2013), Kunstmuseum Wiesbaden (2012), Heidelberger Kunstverein (2011), Wilhelm Hack Museum (2010), and Nassauischer Kunstverein, Wiesbaden (2010). Jonas Weichsel lives and works in Frankfurt a.M.

    The Interstellar series is the latest iteration of Weichsel’s intensive color explorations, in which he meticulously mixes, composes and arranges color to form complex relationships – here, resulting in a continuous, immersive spatial gradient. With Interstellar, Weichsel further develops his highly precise painting practice, building on formats and techniques introduced in previous series – such as his TC (Two Color) Paintings. Incorporating both analog and digital tools, techniques and aesthetics, Weichsel works to expand the potentials of the painting medium in the digital age, producing layered images that, upon close inspection, reveal a quiet complexity.

    Aufbauend
    auf Formaten und Techniken, die in früheren Serien eingeführt wurden –
    wie beispielsweise seine "TC (Two Colour) Paintings" – entwickelt
    Weichsel in den "Interstellar Paintings" seine höchst präzise Malpraxis
    weiter, in der er sowohl analoge also auch digitale Werkzeuge, Techniken
    und Ästhetiken miteinander kombiniert.

    Die "Interstellar Paintings"
    umfassen Primärfarben – also Gelb, Magenta und Cyan – die in
    verschiedenen Verhältnissen gemischt werden, um unzählige Farben und
    Farbbeziehungen zu produzieren. Bemerkenswert ist dabei, dass die von
    Weichsel als Ausgangspunkte gewählten Primärfarben an die Farben von
    Digitaldruckern erinnern, die ein riesiges Farbspektrum produzieren
    können, indem sie tausende von mikroskopischen Punkten zu einem
    einheitlichen Ganzen verschmelzen lassen. Auf eine ähnliche Art wirkt
    jedes "Interstellar Painting" aus der Entfernung, als wäre es von einer
    eindeutigen Farbe beherrscht, die in Korrespondenz zu den anderen einen
    einzigen Farbverlauf bildet. Gleichzeitig ist aber jedes Bild aus
    eigenen Farbverläufen komponiert: unscharfe, kontrastierende vertikale
    Farbbänder, wie digitale Scanlinien. Sowohl die Andeutung von
    Schattierungen und Linien, die horizontal wie diagonal über die Bilder
    verlaufen, als auch die verblasste „Spiegelung“ des Farbverlaufs, die in
    der unteren Hälfte jeden Bildes auftaucht, gibt den Arbeiten eine fast
    papierartige, materielle Anmutung, so, als wären die Arbeiten zusammen-
    und dann wieder auseinandergefaltet worden. Das Gefühl von Licht,
    Spiegelung und Schatten dient auch dazu, deren retinale Eigenschaft zu
    unterstreichen und öffnet gleichzeitig weitreichende Tiefen. Dies
    versetzt die Oberflächen in Bewegung, während es den Farben ein gewisses
    Volumen verleiht, obgleich sie sich aufzulösen scheinen.
