Untitled (Plan B)
2007
For almost twenty years Rudolf Stingel has interrogated the key issues of contemporary painting: authenticity, meaning, hierarchy, context… His art belongs to the Neo-Rococo that emerged in the late 1980s in a rejection of the then dominant Expressionism, Minimalism and Conceptualism. Humour, celebration of the senses, surprise, and the quest for beauty stand at the centre of his work, which offers a new synthesis of design, decorative art, painting and installation. The exquisite forms of the Rococo – in arabesques, brocades, wallpapers, mirrors, gilt mouldings – provide him with his subjects, a basic vocabulary that he transposes into a range of unconventional materials. In Untitled (Plan 3), enamel paint and lacquer on linen and tulle thus create a space traversed by a glittering infinity.
