At the center of Patrick Cierpka's current works is the Japanese phenomenon of Komorebi, which describes the delicate play of light when rays of sunlight fall through leaves, creating filigree patterns of light and shadow. In his exhibition, Patrick Cierpka expands on this phenomenon - deeply rooted in nature and its subtle beauty.
Sunlight falls through the leaves of a tree, transforming water into glittering dots or colored surfaces swirl around human faces and bodies like a rushing cosmos. The artist captures this special atmosphere in his new paintings and thematizes its presence and transience. Light and colors touch an associatively charged pictorial world that is filtered or reflected in his works. He creates a connection between the natural beauty of light and human existence, giving them a deeper emotional and symbolic meaning. The works invite viewers to explore both the ephemeral beauty of nature and the complexity of human experience.
