Description

In his works, Christian Probst explores the boundaries between attraction and rejection and also creates a state that cannot be described using conventional parameters. In order to artistically interpret the most familiar form for us, namely that of the human body, he takes an unusual approach. The body is paraphrased as a sculpture or as an object with anthropomorphic initial forms in painting, manipulated, as the artist himself says, dislocated, deconstructed and depicted in an unprecedented form between familiarity and alienation. Interestingly, the artist never uses the human body or photography as models, but rather sculpture, whose three-dimensional, static character he uses in painting for a two-dimensional representation by adding several levels and perspectives to one perceptual surface.

Nevertheless, the sculptural character of the pictorial objects in Probst’s compositions is clearly recognizable. Both the depiction of the surface structure and the materiality as well as the background, the position and the staging of the depicted object body contribute significantly to this.
