Markus Huemer is showing works from his new painting cycles "Kryptogamen" and "Bouquets of Flowers".
Cryptogams are life forms that reproduce asexually. Plants such as ferns, mosses, viruses, algae, bacteria, fungi etc. that were the first to colonise our planet and have so far survived every climate change.
At first glance, the motifs of the paintings depict Irish landscapes and Irish plants. At second glance, however, one realises that special plants, special life forms are depicted, namely so-called cryptogams.
In the cycle of bouquets, he deals with the paradox that the market for cut flowers (cultivation and distribution) has risen dramatically with the increased reference to nature as a result of the daily debates on climate change. However, in order to fulfil the desire for beautification and more nature in the short term, mostly in the domestic environment, a piece of nature is being destroyed again.
In Huemer's works, digital image processing, which is then transferred into painting, is the artistic and pictorial theme. The correlative relationship between digital image processing and painting and their construction of reality through computer programmes and painting is important not only in the process of creation, but also in terms of content. These are actually existing natural phenomena which, however, do not appear real, but rather bizarre.
