- Association -
Based on the aesthetics of the Rorschach test, we see symmetrical, brown-toned structures that we associate with people. Indeed, on the left, we can recognize a professional and an upper body, while the figure on the right also has anatomical features. With this reinforcement, we can clearly recognize a human figure in the middle. The people on the right are clearly a couple, and the person on the left has turned away from them. Encouraged by these clues, our imagination begins to form a network of relationships between the three figures. However, we are unable to resolve it, which activates our imagination even more.
About the artist
Detlef Baltrock trained as a decorator and studied painting at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts from 1982 to 1988. He has worked as a freelance artist ever since. From 1989 to 1994, he was a lecturer at the Lette-Verein in Berlin, and he has been a lecturer at the Sigmund Freud University in Berlin since 2015. Since the 1980s, his works have been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
GERMAN VERSION
Detlef Baltrock (*1954 Stuttgart), Ohne Titel, 1985. Aquarell, 29,5 cm x 21 cm (Sichtmaß), 41 cm x 32 cm (Rahmen), unten mittig mit „Baltrock“ signiert und auf „[19]85“ signiert, verso Etikett der Galerie Zellermayer.
- Papier durch das Aquarellieren gewellt, Rahmen mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren
- Assoziation -
An die Ästhetik des Rorschachtests angelehnt, sehen wir brauntonale symmetrische Strukturen, mit denen wir Personen assoziieren. Und tatsächlich ist links ein Profi und ein Oberkörper zu erkennen, während die Figur rechts ebenfalls anatomische Merkmale aufweist. Auf diese Weise bestärkt, erkennen wir auch in der Figuration in der Mitte eindeutig eine menschliche Gestalt. Bei den rechtsstehenden Personen handelt es ich offenbar um ein Paar und links um jemanden, der sich vom Paar abgewendet hat. Durch diese Indizien animiert, beginnt unsere Imagination, das Beziehungsgeflecht der drei Figuren auszugestalten, ohne dass es sich allerdings auflösen ließe, was die Vorstellungskraft umso mehr aktiviert.
