Exhibition View Christian Rothmaler Soloshow «Mountain View on Neom Om» at Kirchgasse, Steckborn, 2018
Exhibition Title: "Christian Rothmaler at Kirchgasse"
Subtitle: "Soloshow «Mountain View on Neom Om»"
With the title of his exhibition at Kirchgasse, Christian Rothmaler places his works in the context of a topology situated between West and East, present and future, technology and spirituality. The exhibition explores the connection between Google's headquarters in California and the planned city of Neom in the desert of Saudi Arabia. In this new Babylon, a project built for a new way of living, human life, work, and bodies are part of an endless optimization project, always a bit in the future.
In his previous show, Being Time Squared, presented in 2017, Rothmaler exhibited a differentiated order of spatial and temporal references in his paintings. His new works further explore this approach, presenting symbolically-charged motifs with a grid of yellow lines on a white background. This lattice structure acts as a "holodeck" where the shapes, raw materiality, and fluids of his paintings undergo continuous transformation. The motifs represent the medium and materiality of the painting itself, creating a virtual world where history and future dreams intersect.
The human hand emerges as a central motif in the exhibition, symbolizing the five senses, communication, and action. In Rothmaler's paintings, the hand has seven fingers, representing human creativity, commentary on physical potential, and an image of future bodies creating new images of their world, history, and selves.
