莱西特尔的艺术实践根植于他与绘画媒介的深切互动,以及他对私密绘画主题的细腻观察。
通过半透明色彩的逐层叠加,并经过砂纸或美甲铣刀等工具的打磨,莱西特尔的画面细节丰富,极具触感,将人类共通的经验与对身体功能的种种期许尽数吸收、消化。
在莱西特尔所描绘的对象四周,空间显得紧缩、逼仄,吸引着观众向前观察。出于对心理现象的浓厚兴趣艺术家在创作中找寻那些内在运作在身体上显现的瞬间。身体化作联结彼此的风景,皮肤的细节形同蝉翼般半透明的表皮,器官不再具备功能,成为失灵的肉体。画面中的身体部位被挤压、扭曲,历经磨练与雕琢。直至显得抽象,并以考究的视角呈现,让本应熟悉的事物焕发出全新的样。
Born in Aachen, Germany, in 1995 and graduated from Kunsthochschule Berlin WeiBensee in 2024. He currently lives and works in Berlin. Leichtle's practice is rooted in his interaction with the medium of painting and his sensitive observation of intimately staged subjects.
By building up his works through consecutive layers of transparent pigments and using abrasive tools such as sandpaper or manicure milling cutters, Leichtle creates tactile and intricate surfaces which digest human experience and the presumed functionality placed upon the body.
The space surroundina his depicted subjects appears to be tight vet open for the viewers to observeBased upon the artist's interest in psychological phenomena, he probes for moments in which these inner workings manifest in physical form. Bodies transform into interpersonal landscapes; details of skin turn into translucent diaphanous surfaces, and functional organs into dysfunctional flesh. The body parts are depicted as compressed, twisted, tested, and pushed into abstractions, demanding to be viewed from programmed perspectives and to see the supposedly familiar in a new light.
