Lutz Bleidorn
Lutz Bleidorn's artwork is largely inspired by the surroundings of his home town Rendsburg in Schleswig-Holstein. In his paintings, he collects and sorts scenic impressions, striking architecture, but also memories of childhood events and dreams. In doing so, he walks the fine line between reason and emotion, between construction and intuition, reflecting the existential dualism of today's individual. With his unique visual language, Lutz Bleidorn is one of the outstanding artists of his generation.

The dialectic between inside and outside, between internalised and observed landscapes, defines the works in the exhibition »Morning Mood and Night Ghosts« by artist Lutz Bleidorn. Born in Rendsburg in Schleswig-Holstein in 1973, Bleidorn first completed an apprenticeship as an illustration designer in Hamburg from 1996 to 2000 before beginning his studies in painting and graphic design at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts in 2003. Here, he was a master student under Elke Hopfe from 2009 to 2011. In 2018, he moved back to Rendsburg, where he has been living and working ever since. The familiar landscape of his Schleswig-Holstein home around Rendsburg forms the starting point and central reference point for Lutz Bleidorn's collages and paintings. Time and again, we encounter the silhouette of the city between the Eider and the Kiel Canal, the tower of St. Mary's Church, the buildings of the old town, its harbour facilities, the old floodplains and the undulating landscape of the surrounding area – it is not a spectacular landscape, not one that would lend itself to heroic landscape paintings. The specific locations take on a new form and new significance in Bleidorn's paintings. Just as our memories “distort” reality by selecting, emphasising, exaggerating or omitting certain elements, so too does the artist, perhaps unconsciously, decide for or against certain fragments and sections of the landscape he has seen and remembered during the process of creating his paintings. He selects, reweights, dissolves into patches of colour, alienates and arranges the elements, sometimes as a flat juxtaposition, He selects, reweights, dissolves into patches of colour, alienates and arranges the elements, sometimes as a flat juxtaposition, sometimes in a deep spatial gradation. The affectionate but never romanticised view of the familiar merges familiarity with distance, warmth with coolness, intimacy with grand vistas in the images, giving rise to broken romantic, sometimes abysmal visions of home. Whether street scenes, expansive landscape views or dense undergrowth, Lutz Bleidorn always concentrates, alienates and exaggerates what is closest to him using artistic means. His internalised landscapes paint a complex topography of memory, longing and rediscovery, extremely subjective and yet supraindividual.
