Stefan Kürten: Perfect World | Thursday, October 19
Graduate Lecture Series
The question of painting’s necessity and current relevance is one that has accompanied me through the years. What interests me in painting is the reflection and invention involved, making what is invisible visible. The motifs in my recent work represent an artificial and ideal world, utopias, that I find inspiration for in Germany as easily as in America; a “perfect world” with subtle and often uncanny “undercurrents,” devoid of human presence and isolated to the point of oppression.
