Thomas Janzen on Hambrecht
“[...] If we take a look at Hambrecht's work over the past few years, it soon becomes apparent that the painter has a steadily expanding repertoire of solitary painterly forms and gestures, which, measured against the avant-garde of the 20th century, combines opposites: the free gesture, which is provided with the index of subjectivity, and the geometric construction, which has often been equated with mathematical objectivity. [...] On the other hand, it is precisely an expression of conceptual sovereignty, in the awareness that the claim mentioned could have lost its historical basis to pursue original and original painting. And this is exactly what Wolfgang Hambrecht succeeds in using painterly combinatorics to create pictorial situations that do not refer to any higher order and, as Ulrich Loock put it in the Wolfgang Hambrecht catalog (2001), do not form any necessary units. [...] There are situations that have arisen as if by chance and could fall apart again at any moment, but which have been designed precisely with this openness in mind and in precisely this openness maintain qualities such as tension and precision, in order to enrich them with wit and irony at the same time .
