Dirk Skreber's Untitled offers an eerie sense of stillness, his monumental locomotive frozen in a moment of detached anticipation. It's not the actual subject that Skreber portrays but the haunting quality of it. He savours the illusion and contradiction of technique. Merging collaged elements of foil tape and foam rubber into the painterly surface, Dirk Skreber creates a tension between the abstract and representational. The dented steel of the train, the impenetrable gradient of the sky, and uncertainty of the dusty ground belie their artificial construction, each generating an austere, intangible quality. Sublime in their unreality, they culminate in an apprehensive tension where anything (or nothing) might happen.
