- JEREMIAS ALTMANN
Once Upon
Bildraum Studio, Brotfabrik, Vienna 2022
Jeremias Altmann has investigated real depiction as well as imaginative representations: from spacial interventions to graphic editions, from image to object, from 3D print to film — Altmann includes a wide range of techniques in his ever expanding experiment. Focus of the exhibition Once Upon is the series YOUNG PROPHECIES (since 2009), which emerged from the artist’s preoccupation with his childhood drawings.
The artist zooms into the original drawings, pulling individual figures out of their mysterious original context. Enriched by archetypical symbols, hybrids, automats, monsters, and all kinds of insects populate Altmanns burning inferno, wasteland, and seabed. At Bildraum Studio the artist translates the images of his childhood into painting, graphics and an expansive wall intervention that allow us to trace the strangely animated, childlike worlds of perception and experience.
