Jens Lorenzen Gefahr und Glück

Jens Lorenzen's paintings illustrate past and current social events in vibrant colours. Starting from an original work about the Berlin Wall, Lorenzen added further canvases to the right and left, continuing endlessly. To date, he has produced four 'Wall' series in different canvas formats, which together form the endless work 'Wall'. Lorenzen's paintings are deceptive. The canvases, which at first glance appear to be glued 'collages on masonry', are completely filled and painted in oil on canvas. They show an inexhaustible pool of text and image sources, logos, magazines, advertising, advertisements, newspapers and cinema posters. In his new employees, he deals with the liberation of Malaysia and Singapore from colonialism and the football World Cup in Qatar, among other things. The book catalogue 'Gefahr & Glück' will be published to accompany the exhibition of the same name at Galerie von Braunbehrens, Stuttgart.
