from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Rösel (* 1966 in Rockenhausen ) is a German artist and professor in the field of Artistic Basics at the Berlin-Weißensee School of Art (KHB). He became known for the first time in 1998 with a water lily pond sewn from German police uniforms in the exhibition Change of Scenes XIV in the Museum of Modern Art , MMK Frankfurt am Main.

Life

He grew up in Morocco and Iraq . From 1987 to 1992 he studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main with Thomas Bayrle and Raimer Jochims . During a semester abroad in 1992 he studied at the Cooper Union in New York. He was a master student with Thomas Bayrle.

plant

At his first exhibition in 1992, Peter Rösel showed miniature painting . On the sheet metal of beverage cans, pictures of landscapes and whales are integrated into the printed surface. From 1995 he sewed indoor plants from German police uniforms and underwear. Both groups of works were included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art , MMK Frankfurt am Main , on the initiative of Jean-Christophe Ammann . From 1998 he painted mirages in oil on canvas. Since 2009 he has been showing videos of levitating tricks on revived television chests from the 1950s and 1960s with device names such as Rembrandt or Tizian .

In Rösel's conceptual art, an interest in poetic-anarchic states of suspension and collisions can be identified as a “red thread”. With his plants and mirage paintings, Rösel asked about the cultural influences that determine our image of nature. In his work from 2008 he turned to the large and small "achievements" of civilization . In this context, he poured 2009 hand axes from bronze and set up 100 years ago conceived in the long monument from DDR - incandescent one. In 2010 he showed two Berlin telephone books side by side. One is one of the last copies printed in 1941 during World War II , the other belongs to the first edition after the end of the war in 1945. Made from Zimbabwe dollars marked with colored pencils , the value of which rose from one dollar to 100 trillion dollars in 2008 as a result of hyperinflation , The cartoon I promise ... was made in 2010 .

In 2007 Peter Rösel was appointed to a chair for “Artistic Basics” at the KHB-Berlin. In the first year of study, students from all disciplines are introduced to the Bauhaus in mixed groups using different techniques and approaches. In his subject “visual and artistic design”, the students primarily examine the role of color and the production process of images.

Work interpretation

Andreas Bee (art historian) writes in the catalog of the exhibition Frankfurter Kreuz , Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt , 2001: “… However,  it is by no means about converting one thing into another in the most sophisticated way possible. Rather, the driving force is the desire to construct a lasting tension structure from different antipodes. This leads to radical shifts in reality, turbulent overlapping of fields of perception, irritatingly beautiful ambiguities and contradictions. All of this is intentional and runs like a red thread through the work of Peter Rösel  ... "
