12 HOURS OF ART // 12 HOURS OF MUSIC // 12 HOURS OF FREEDOM //
EVERYBODY IS WELCOME // ALL DONATIONS GO TO VIVA CON AGUA COTTBUS //
FREE ENTRY //
For the fourth time in a row, artists from Cottbus and further abroad
get together, far from the cold and strange atmosphere of a museum, to
turn our apartments into colorful and lively galleries.
With a
colorful mixture of art varying in medium and size, these unique
paintings, installations, photographies and live music will transform
these everyday living rooms into a work of art.
For 12 hours,
rooms will be repurposed to benefit the broad public and give it a
different cultural experience. Donations will be collected to support
Viva con Agua Cottbus, who work together to support projects from the
Welthungerhilfe, an organization that aims to improve sanitary and water
conditions all over the globe.
Robert Malte Engelsmann works under the pseudonym Kaeghoro, creating
abstracted illustrations that draw inspiration from a range of sources
both recognizable and hidden. The artist often creates his works using a
free flow state of mind, allowing his pen or pencil to move freely, without too much planning.
I really enjoy the overall aesthetic of Kaeghoro’s portfolio. The
works are diverse, but cohesive, with elements of line drawing,
painting, and printmaking. The artist works in black and grey pigment on
neutral-colored paper that lends each image a warm, almost aged look
that works in concert with the futuristic abstraction of his
compositions.
The sense of movement and suggested figuration that Kaeghoro achieves
in his works is quite stunning. Though an image may be entirely
composed of fragmented lines and circles, oftentimes the viewer’s eye
fills in the pattern of a running or jumping figure. Though the works
may feature a range of frenetic lines and marks, there always seems to
be distinct focal point where the viewer can come to rest.
stumbled upon this article with my work in the world wide web and dublicated it for us here on tumblr – thanks a lot for the feature and great text Dallas Jeffs.
