FELIX KINDELÁN
Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.
In Felix Kindelán's paintings, coarse brushstrokes and
shapes are contrasted with clear edges, impasto color
areas, and soft color gradients. The alternating structure
creates the impression of a strong three-dimensional
depth, which gives the figures a vivid plasticity. Occasionally,
parts of the figures float above artificially created
picture frames, creating optical illusions in the style of
Trompe-l'œil. This design principle irritates and fascinates
at the same time.
“My works are about personal and interpersonal emotional
worlds, implemented in a mix of contemporary figuration,
abstractions, and mannerist pictorial spaces. The
harmoniously balanced color compositions allow the
trained graphic designer to shine through. The dynamic
interweaving of figures into a mass is more reminiscent
of the structure of graffiti, where letters playfully fuse together.
It is about nothing less than the search for the
components of my personality and worlds of experience.
My works are questions to myself to be discussed. Answers
to the questions posed lead to further questions in
further paintings. With the help of painting, I work on myself
and at the same time offer the viewer the opportunity
for self-reflection.”
