Pair of Abstract Collages Brown-Black Monogrammed and Dated Norbert Krabbe, 1997

About the Item

Pair of collages monogrammed and dated Norbert Krabbe 1997. Handmade frame, mounted as in the showcase. Norbert Krabbe (1951 Demmin, lives since 2005 in Koserow) is an artistic autodidact. In 1976 he made the acquaintance with painters of the Dresden scene, he maintained close contacts with painters of the artist group "Lücke" founded by A.R.Penck. From 1981, after all his painter friends moved to West Germany, he was only able to work in isolation, and in 1982-89 he was banned from exhibiting. In 1990 he made the acquaintance of the Berlin gallery owner Michael Schultz, participation in international art fairs and exhibitions followed. In 1993 the group of artists "NORA" was founded. There are four instructive and innovative years of cooperation within the group of artists. In 1997 the group NORA dissolved and the individual work moved back into the foreground. 1997-2004 Norbert Krabbe lives and works first in Neubrandenburg, from 2005 he moves his center of life to Koserow on Usedom. - As the only representative of informal art on Usedom, Norbert Krabbe pursues with unwavering consistency an artistic attitude that rejects the classical principle of form and composition as well as geometric abstraction. Exhibitions of recent years, such as "When the yellow breaks up the gray" (2011) or "54°3'N 14°E" (2016) showed an artist whose lyrical-meditative creations on the one hand have high recognition value, on the other hand surprise with their richness of form and mutability, without ever falling into arbitrariness. Norbert Krabbe's pictures do not primarily want to be recognized, but felt. First of all, there is the effect of the color - individually or as a chord; structures announce conflicts and changes to which everything is subjected; bizarre form formations arise and create tensions in the picture structure - the viewer dives deeper and deeper into a picture organism that seems to lead a life of its own. Then, at some point, a mental process is also set in motion; one begins to interpret and philosophize. In this dialogue, the viewer is no longer just a consumer of a preconceived opinion, of a created work of art, but has to contribute himself, with his imagination, his experiences and feelings. This discussion, this dialogue can be continued and taken up anew at will in the case of a good picture - one can hardly "see over" such a picture. However, this is also where the artist's powerlessness begins, because the viewer must be inwardly ready to communicate and thereby also reveal something of himself - perhaps people have such a hard time with non-objective art because they shy away from this "giving", be it because they simply don't take the time that such a picture needs or because they are afraid to show individuality and feeling, to explore their own subconscious.
