Themes and
style:
Neo
Rauch's paintings are characterized by a unique combination of realism and
surrealist abstraction. In many of his compositions, human figures engaged in
manual labor or indeterminable tasks work against backdrops of mundane
architecture, industrial settings, or bizarre and often barren landscapes.
These figures, though squarely centered in his paintings, often have the
appearance of being part of still lifes devoid of a human presence or collaged
elements belonging to different time zones. Scale is frequently arbitrary and
non-perspectival, which adds to an overall dreamlike atmosphere; the spatial
relationships construct their own imaginary realm.
Techniques:
His work
is developed in oil paintings.

In his own words:
“I never wanted to change the world,
neither the order of things nor my fellow citizens’ perceptions of life. I
always preferred to just let the world in all its complexity impress itself
upon me. I’ve tried, and I’m still trying—via a precisely-aimed reach into the
immeasurable flow of things—to perform a kind of bundling. This bundling then
is the artwork.
I want to add the optical to the acoustic
phenomenon you mention. Léon Bloy considers prophecy possible—insofar as the
gifted one is able to perceive an extract as a detail from within the time
pattern which, by its nature, extends in all possible directions. Everything
happens simultaneously. Thus, we move in orbits whose patterns of logic are
revealed only beyond the time curtain destined for us. In other words, I
believe in fate.”
