My Portrait In The Year 2080

2007
Etching, watercolour

Image: 29 x 25 cm Paper: 41 x 34 cm

Volker Hueller’s large-format collaged canvases and smaller hand-coloured etchings engulf the viewer in a world where shapes and meaning are fragmented and interconnected to present an eerily abstract sense of portraiture. The monochromatic patchwork of textures in Sie Sind Unter Uns XII and the washed out tones of Drei Halunken Und Ein Halleluja’s geometric figuration (both 2009) articulate a strange tension: figuration is created and sustained by the abstract patterned shards cutting through the visual ground.
