Themes and style:
Eberhard
Havekost often paints the city’s modernist-style buildings as a means to
reference 20th century post-war politics and failed utopian vision. Havekost
explores the parallels between these systemic ideas of perfection and the modes
of ideal image construction. Working from his own collection of photos and
video footage, Havekost alters the original images on a computer: hues are
subtly altered, forms imperceptibly stretched and skewed. These complications
are then further translated through the process of painting. What Havekost
presents isn’t photographic precision, but rather transient moments of
abstracted perception; the intentional ‘errors’ make the image appear more
natural and visually pleasing.
Using the devices
of photographic representation, Eberhard Havekost exposes the complex processes
by which images are interpreted and inter-related. Through painting, Havekost
transforms this plebeian view to create a disquieting experience from the
overtly familiar. Editing the image down to its most functional elements,
Havekost’s painting becomes almost pure abstraction: the windscreen is a field
of fluctuating depth, framed by compositional blocks of colour. By selectively
emphasising and omitting an image’s qualities, Havekost’s paintings operate
like memory. Their associative form becomes subliminally dismantled for
intimate contemplation and rumination.

In his own words:
“I think that every kind of symbol hinders
direct access to reality. That’s why my version of the star is a constructed
formal element. But even though I’ve changed the original size of the star and
removed its characteristic red color, the reduced version still attracts
attention. The Stern image is one of the few fragments of the painting that a
viewer can decode. Other than that, it would be difficult to find other
recognizable imagery in the exhibition, because in contrast with my earlier
paintings, I’ve eradicated every form of memory fragment this time. There is no
communication of understandable information; the viewer has to revert to his or
her own personal interpretation.
My process is less and less directed
towards a goal; instead, I reflect on the perception process. I’m interested in
questions of how pictorial effects are created today, in which standard forms
exist. Unfortunately, I notice more and more frequently that the results are
often unbelievably boring in visual terms, whether we’re looking at the way
symbols are used, or at poster design.”
