COPY 03 Painting

In Höller’s most recent series of pictures entitled Copy (2019), recognition is limited to details of geometric surfaces that form spatial structures in conjunction with companion pieces in contrasting colours. Referencing the square form of the picture support, the artist operates here with squares which, because of their distorted perspectives, are not immediately recognisable as such. The phenomenon of mental rotation finds an echo here in some of the works. A nuanced observation of the formal language is necessary in order to detect parallels in the structures that – as in the Shift series – plays with the effects of light and shadow. In Copy, a slight misalignment of the equal-area black-and-white or green-and-grey coloured areas create imaginary spatial distances. A closer look reveals that Höller first painted the dark square before, in a second step, laying a lighter copy over that. This then forms a subtle, but nevertheless clearly visible, fine edge in relief which draws attention to the spatial overlay. (Hartwig Knack, 2019)
