"More Statements In The Spirit Of Militant Agnosticism" (Michael Biberstein at Cristina Guerra) There is a universal light that passes through any work of
Michael Biberstein . The same light that we can find in diluted
sfumato Mona Lisa or, if you do not want to wake up the lazy eye, absurd in the glow of Turner. All of them are without excepçãoe each in its own way, misleading. This is what art is all about - a distorted mirror of reality in which we pretend to believe. However, the light that is now before us is admittedly unrealistic, defying the limitations of the retina, a journey that begins exactly there to break the confines of the imagination. Thereafter, the patches of color faded from the Swiss artist - who settled in Estremoz (Alentejo) for over thirty years - take a spiritual dimension and speculative, requiring us to devise a kind of mental realism. It is a light that invades the mind, exerting a strange sense of relaxation and leads us to question whether there will be something beyond that - of life and the painting itself (called Biberstein them paintings "psycho-physiological). It is, essentially, a work that supports the great traditions paint, either by color or diluted trait, although reaching a metaphysical dimension that we rarely see in their predecessors.
In
"More Statements In The Spirit Of Militant Agnosticism ", the third solo exhibition at Michael Biberstein
Galeria Cristina Guerra, Lisbon, there is however a thorough grounding. But disappoint those who think they will find here any kind of redemption. Here only no room for a broader experience. And this is no small achievement.
