Accelerated Z
Material/Technique: Mixed media on canvas
Year: 2024
The work captures a moment and a state within a process of creation.
Parts and fragments of an undefined whole seek to find their own unique place within a space of infinite possibilities and to assert this place peacefully. Home, belonging, a voice, identity and genesis – as an aesthetic project within a politicised world – raise questions about creation without combative energy. Accelerated Z refers to a state of being that neither hides nor puts on a show. Work on that one in real life.
The work is presented as a canvas stretched over a 45-frame stretcher.
The price includes the original work together with a certificate of authenticity.
Robin Mallmann
Robin Mallmann currently works at the intersection of painting, installation and performance, exploring themes such as taboos, trauma, identity, the unconscious and simulated reality. The various media serve as channels for different aspects and their respective positions. They make these accessible and allow them to develop their own language. What is expressed in painting, for example, supports what seeks to take shape through performance, and vice versa. In this process, visual approaches allow for experimentation in areas and languages for which a performative exploration is not yet sufficiently developed; explorations that are still too sensitive to be presented performatively. This applies both on a personal level and on a collective/societal level. Performative positions thus seek to emancipate themselves from painterly positions until they can stand as independent stances within Robin Mallmann and outside the art space, where they find their true home. The overarching aim of this exploration is to overcome bias of any kind and to integrate the human condition in all its complexity. Various other media are incorporated into this process; however, they currently play only a peripheral role and support the main media mentioned above.
The works shown here are currently exclusively of a painterly nature.
