Summary:
Berlin's zest for life captured in visual worlds far removed from tourist phantasies, which bring together elements from "high" and "low" culture.00Maximilian Kirmse's visual worlds tell of the city's very own zest for life and vitality, far removed from tourist fantasies of the glamorous old West, sleepwalking party people in Mitte or cool hipsters in the gentrified urban landscape of Prenzlauer Berg. His drawings and paintings capture the easygoing way of life in his neighbourhood, bringing together stylistic and aesthetic elements from "high" and "low" culture, with some of his motifs seemingly lifted from comics culture. Last but not least, his tableaux illuminate a fin-de-siècle attitude to life.0//0Lebenslust und Lebensenergie in Berlin, in Bildwelten abseits touristischer Phantasien, die sich ohne Scheu aus ?High? und ?Low? Kultur bedienen.00Maximilian Kirmses Bildwelten erzählen von der Lebenslust und Lebensenergie Berlins, fern touristischer Großstadtphantasien, die vom alten glamourösen Westen, von schlafwandelnden Party-People in Mitte oder von coolen Hipstern in der gentrifizierten Stadtlandschaft am Prenzlauer Berg träumen. Seine Zeichnungen und Malereien greifen das unaufgeregte Leben im eigenen Kiez auf, stilistische und ästhetische Elemente der ?High?- und der ?Low?-Kultur treffen in Kirmses Werk aufeinander, zum Teil scheinen seine Motive der Comic-Kultur entsprungen zu sein. Nicht zuletzt leuchtet in seinen Tableaus das Lebensgefühl eines Fin de Siècle auf.00Exhibition: Graphische Sammlungen, Munich, Germany (08.02. - 05.05.2024).
