Ascan Pinckernelle presents 15 framed Chinese mountain landscapes in his second exhibition at Galerie Gisela Capitain.
All the works allude to extant paintings by various Chinese artist ranging from the Song to the Ming dynasties. Although Pinckernelle takes these as his direct models, he does not copy them in the strict sense of the word. He removes all the accessories of the original visual language, such as buildings, people and colours, and reduces them to a pure mountain moIf, thereby setting his paintings off against the original works.
