A VIRTUAL ART EXHIBIT: DE FELLRATH
German Artist and Sculptor Detlef Fellrath
by Michelle Bienias
German artist and sculptor De fellrath (Detlef Fellrath)has had his canvas paintings displayed in a number of important institutes, most recently in the city gallery of his current hometown of Tettnang, near Lake Constance in southern Germany. De fellrath’s striking 10 meter ‘Blue Wave Circle Floating’ (Blauer Wellenkreis schwebend) was suspended over the courtyard of the Montfort Palace in Tettnang as part of the 2000 Lake Constance Festival. Since September 2003 his canvas paintings have been on display in the renowned Kornhaus Gallery in the university city of Weingarten. In 2003/2004 his work will also be on view in the Kunstverein Friedrichshafen.

The artist’s iron sculptures and canvas paintings have one characteristic in common: They appear to float. “The pictures are not composed according to a certain perspective or around a focal point, but rather several levels of reality are combined like a set of overlays,” De fellrath explains. “A painting sequence is often repeated and changed slightly each time. The overall composition can be viewed as a whole, or certain elements may stand out to the viewer, as in everyday life when a person drives a new red car and suddenly becomes aware of all the red cars on the road. One sees things in a new context. Perceptions and meanings are very pluralistic and belong to the viewer.”
De fellrath also creates synthetic canvases, which are similar in flexibility to the natural canvases with their water-based pigment paints. He uses these to portray pictures he composes on his computer, which, due to their complexity, cannot be composed manually. Traditional western paintings are forged with modern computer technology to form an exciting and new artistic realm. The resulting large-format computer canvases expand the collection into a dimension that may become the basis for paintings of the future.
