THADDÄUS SALCHER
Thaddäus Salcher climbs the peaks of the spirit. The forms of his sculptures and his almost monochromatic paintings create true spiritual landscapes. They contain clear references to the great masters of the spirit and of light: Robert Rothko or James Turrel, as well as the European tradition of informal art, less oriented toward the American exegesis of covering the “skin” of events and more inclined to penetrate the quick of things. The figurative character that always emerges against the background of his paintings avoids all purely two-dimensional reasoning and requires a more intimate approach. Rather than offering himself up as an illusionist or sculptor of material, Thaddäus Salcher offers his services of accompaniment (or facilitation)?. However imposing his paintings and sculptures may be, they do not construct culture (spirit, value), but polish it ready for contact with the cosmos.
