ASIA
Caspar Baum belongs to a group of German artists representing ''dynamic structuralism'' as well as an expressive view on subjects and situations frozen into his paintings.
His work is influenced by the light and structure of the objects. It plays with shadows and illumination, background and front, separates into layers and re-composes those to a new imagination taking the observer into a silent sensitive environment.
During the last years Caspar Baum has been traveling frequently to the Far East, mainly to China. This has formed a significant influence to his work and shall be presented for the first time at the Titanium Yiayiannos Gallery.
The works on display refer to principles of harmony as known in the perception of art in Asia. The envelope of the canvas is carefully divided into areas corresponding in size and density to each other trying to avoid aggressive unbalanced situations.
