Abel Auer

Abel Auer is a German artist whose colourful paintings trace across overlapping timelines of the present day and Modernity. The oriental aesthetics of his bright sceneries show the artist’s admiration of historical artistic movements. The artist brings the concerns of the Romanticists and the Symbolists to the forefront of artistic discourse following the conceptual dead-ends of Post-modernism. His works cherish the memory of decadence, filled with anarchic spirit, battling with and for beauty. Auer's quiet, almost magical settings depict mountains and trees, infinite horizons and burning skylights, hidden eyes and blending faces. His works are provocative in their art-historical rupture and in their airy brightness.
