Info: The work “mitten in die Fresse” came about by chance and was actually inspired by a song by Die Ärzte. I listened to the band’s live concerts non-stop whilst working on the painting. I also repainted it twice because I wasn’t happy with the previous results. I didn’t really know where I was heading. Then the music was playing, I just let it flow a bit (I also had the odd cold drink whilst painting) and then one thing led to another. Not everything can go perfectly, and in a way, the painting reflects that too.
Missing teeth flying wildly about, an abstract, shattered face. I don’t know whether I wanted to blame the figure in the painting for the failure, or whether, in the end, we actually did quite well together after all.

Marcel Asendorf

Marcel Asendorf is studying painting at the University of Fine Arts in Essen and was awarded the Weser Elbe Foundation’s Encouragement Prize in 2024.

His tutors include Tim Trantenroth, Nicola Staeglich and Markus Vater.

The moment I apply paint to the canvas, I begin a dialogue with what I am creating. Using contrasts between warm and cool tones – sometimes quite stark – I aim to create a mood and translate it onto the canvas. I am not necessarily concerned with showing what is visible. Rather, I wish to depict the space in between, the subtext, and make this perceptible to the viewer.

Although I am very clear in what I do, I also experiment with various supports, media and figures. There is a vast space between figuration and abstraction that I wish to explore.
