Diederik Gerlach (1956) recently made a series of brush drawings in brown bistre tones in which he reinterprets well-known German landscapes such as the banks of the river Rhine or the Harz mountains. Compared to his precise paintings on panel they have a free and dynamic brushwork that brings movement to the image.
In this work, two elyptic bodies appear in a river landscape. In spite of all the laws of nature, they seem to float above the stylised panorama. As in a dream, illusion and reality intertwine.
