Timur Lukas

Der Wald vor Omas Fenster

Malerei als Fenster zur Erinnerung

The painter Timur Lukas’s (b. Constance, 1986; lives and works in Munich) most recent works show snippets of childhood memories, inviting the beholders to a reconstruction in fragments of his grandmother’s living room. The window, the vase, and the forest are the main objects in Lukas’s abstract visual reminiscences: foreground and background seem to blend into one on the canvas, as do recollection and fantasy. Playfully mixing imagination with actual experience, the painter also extends his practice into sculptural works and installations in the exhibition space.

The catalogue Der Wald vor Omas Fenster documents the exhibition of the same title at the NAK. Neuer Aachener Kunstverein and the artist’s contribution to the duo exhibition Unite! Limbo Forest at Kunstverein Augsburg. With essays by Matthias Dornfeld, Maurice Funken, Manuela Mehrwald, and Christian Thöner.
