(...)
An original impulse for Clara Bausch's recent work - complex silkscreen screen prints that describe abstract forms and seem to have swallowed the photographs borrowed from media events - was the experience they had as mothers, their relatively new ones , also social, made a role.
The original starting points were questions about femininity in art and society. However, the images of women in their prints are barely recognizable ... enlarged beyond recognition and linked to other images, often only silhouettes remain. Against this background, it fits quite well that the conceptual pair of monsters and women makes you think of the witch relatively quickly - alchemist, early feminist, enlightened and self-determined (...).
Each individual graphic is reminiscent of a figure in its abstract form. Therefore, one could call the individual graphics as portraits.
Monsters could be animals, mythological hybrid beings, but also human beings in pictures of different cultures (Augustine: monstra sunt in genere humano monsters are part of the human race). With -The Wandering Mind- plays Oskar Klinkhammer to the very hard-to-control people's attention.
A figure between the Natural History Museum and the Ghost Train, scary and touching at the same time she stumbles as a monster, misshapen, though covered with decorative inlays of precious fabrics, tattoos and intricately arranged cascades of various materials, frightened and desperate about the self. On the occasion of the exhibition an edition was created:
Clara Bausch + Oskar Klinkhammer: o.T. Screenprint Edition, 2019, 27.3 x 21.3 cm, edition 21 + 5 ea
