Landscapes of endangered existence

- About the works of Hartmut Piniek -


Landscape is the predominant subject of Hartmut Piniek’s paintings and graphic artworks. Even where the painter primarily focuses on pictorial means and painting technique you can still notice a reference to presentational painting.
Two geographic regions are of essential importance for his creative mind: On the one hand this is the coastal landscape of the Baltic Sea where the artist spent his childhood and on the other hand it is the extensive opencast coal mines around Leipzig being a suggestive as well as a bleak area resulting from the massive impact of human civilization on nature. The pictures are a response to the topographic situation he experienced; they show monumental formations and evoke the impression of spaciousness, although they in most cases refuse the view of a horizon and the sky. The pictured landscapes are presented in an oblique top view. Vast plains, deep hollows or slopes dominate the space of the picture - all as seen from above.

The genesis of his works is linked to these subjects. However, they are far from being realistic depictions of topographic conditions. Piniek translates the shapes of artificial landscapes created by open-pit mining into an imaginary world with its own connotations. He uses the means of painting to generate a subjectively tuned visual sphere reflecting emotional impulses and existential themes related to both individual and collective history. The outside world which is adopted in the process of painting mirrors an inner world that demands expression. An oppressive emptiness of space along with the loss of an inner relation between objects is striking in several compositions and creates an atmosphere of confusion and insecurity. This affects the tiny-looking figures that seem to be lost in the endlessly extending territory. Exposed to the vastness of space without any protection they are moving between remnants of civilisation like vehicle parts, technical devices and other objects whose former function can no longer be identified.



/ Ausschnitt      Wasserstück   1988 

With his method of transferring observed phenomena into imaginary realities Piniek takes up the forms of classic surrealism. The works of Tanguy, Dali or Chirico are inspiring for an art that impressively captures phenomena of alienation and isolation with similar means. Occasionally, the confusing atmosphere of the scenes intensifies the acute threat for the scattered protagonists. Above all, it is the use of black shapes in the otherwise luminous compositions that creates an aggressive tension paralysingly depressing the scene. Piniek reveals the view of a world which has fallen apart and takes on eschatological features at times.

However, this sceptical view of the situation of mankind is only one side of an artistic sensitivity that recognizes the corrective of negative conditions. The more or less painterly dissolved objects, appearing in irregular order in the space of the paintings, keep gaining mobility and weightlessness in contrast to the darkening mood of the scene. On the one hand, the depletion of space is the expression of decomposing major contexts which once stabilised life. On the other hand it opens up a wide field of experience where creative imagination can resettle. The panoramas of denatured landscapes turn underhandedly into poetic fields that seem to dissipate melancholy and offer reconciliation. Especially some works on paper present themselves almost cheerful and relaxed. Quite often, these two moments – the alienation of the world and its poetic overcoming – can be found close to each other in a single work. Piniek’s artistic means are wandering between these two extremes following the one side to support the other.

The depiction of light plays an important role in pushing back the phenomena of estrangement. Usually flowing into the scene from top left it acts as an active means of dissolving boundaries and opening the depicted landscape to space. This is where the black shapes irritating the scenes have their strongest opponent. The painter, who sees himself as an inheritor of Romanticism, understands light as a life-giving concept, above all, as a reflection of transcendency that the defeated world can share and that justifies that hope trying to escape from the threat of a darkening life. In this sense, the postmodern cynicism, which describes decay but denies escape, seems strange to the artist.

/ Ausschnitt      518   2007 



Hartmut Piniek  lives in the southern region of Leipzig where walks can suddenly end up at the rim of an earthly hereafter. The edge of the mine precipitously separates the gentle, green rolling hills from infernal deserts that lignite mining has dug into the country. The view down the pits is fascinating, ghastly, marvellous, gloomy – like looking at creation and eschaton at the same time. It is a landscape full of visions.

Piniek is a visionary. His paintings show a strong affinity for the conditions in the no-man’s-land of abandoned mines now being transformed into recreational areas. But it is not that he depicts what everybody can see and touch. Piniek interprets his self against the background of a devastated landscape that offers a world of options from paradise to hell.

In his early, autodidactic years Piniek was a surrealist. Later, his studies at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts, which he began only at the age of 29, led him to explore the tangible world. Thus, he places more emphasis on the human figure in his solid and expressive compositions. Already during his academic years his paintings indicate a changing point of view. Piniek moves upward from eye level to a bird’s-eye view which is distinctive for his current works. However, this vast overview also means a loss of closeness and immediate contact. The figures become smaller, the structure of the surroundings dissolve and the brush stroke becomes softer. This process of receding from the real world presumably enables the artist to experience himself. Creating the world by painting first of all means an elimination of interfering accessories. Loudspeakers, power poles and wires, that used to help locate his inner world, have almost disappeared. What remains are sundry set pieces floating in an uncertain distance above the ground and icon-like brush strokes being single figures walking their way through a revised landscape. Sometimes a rope dangles into the scene like from a lost balloon and marks the elevated point of view. Eternal floating, plunging and rising – anything is possible now. We cannot tell yet whether there is danger. After all, it is still.

It is a moment of silence after an unknown catastrophe and before the uncertain, following disaster. All burden of culture has gone, the survivors are on their own as nomads now and might dare a new beginning on the ruins of their existence. This projection of eschaton means liberation to Piniek. It reflects both, a pleasure in doom and a hope for new opportunities, for an end of all entanglement, for the Gordian solution. The contrast of a changing painterly style with cloudy spaces as well as powerful brush strokes and the contrast of colours with airy pastels on the one hand and heavy black on the other hand keeps the atmosphere in an ambivalent state. The almost obsessive repetition of one and the same subject in constant variations implies how much this tabula rasa vision has seized Piniek.

The floating pictorial world of Hartmut Piniek allows connotations especially because of its sensitive free artistic style.. His artistic position cultivates an opulent minimalism at the borderline between abstraction and representationalism. However, Piniek never crosses the border to self-sufficient pure peinture. Like hanging by a thread he cleaves to the realistic tradition that insists on secularity. Also in recourse to surrealist creation myths Piniek proves to be a romanticist. – a Wanderer above the Sea of Fog of dispersed fears and dreams of the 20th century.
