About the Item
Daniel Lergon (German, b. 1978)
Untitled, 2012
Lacquer on retroflective fabric
47 1/2 x 39 1/4 in.
Signed verso: Daniel Legon 2012
Provenance:
Galerie Christian Lethert, Cologne
Daniel Lergon was born in Bonn, Germany. Ever since the beginning of his studies at the Universität der Künste (UdK) in Berlin (with Professor Lothar Baumgarten), he began his inquiries into color, the interaction of light on different surfaces and optical effects. Lergon has been working with fabrics of different optical and physical qualities, to which he applies lacquers and transparent varnishes to produce a broad range of effects that vary with the position of the viewer.
In his early works, Lergon used color pigments within the range of the color spectrum, applying them to all kinds of material surfaces. In later work, while using transparent varnishes and synthetic, retro reflective fabric as painting surface (which reflects the light in the same direction from which it comes), he also includes colors at the very extremes of the spectrum into his work. His intensive study of the colors was thus always tied to the materiality of the painting’s ground and the question regarding this influence this would have on the viewer’s perception.
In 2007, Lergon has stopped using color pigments directly – instead, he has been painting with colorless, clear lacquer on technical grounds. These retro reflexive materials were initially grey, later white and they behave unusually concerning how they reflect the light. The images appear either dull or bright, depending on the viewing position and alternate between two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality.
And by using that technique, Lergon creates paintings that dispenses with color pigments, and which essentially come about in the special reflection of the light upon the varnish and painting’s ground. Lergon’s surfaces raise questions about perception, experience, and intuition, simultaneously with those of optics, cosmology, and theory.

Bio from Renee Ritter's website:
I'm a New Yorker, born and bred. I was raised with noise and rush and life all around me. My world was vivid technicolor, and no one ran faster than I did. I met and married the man of my dreams, and had the joys and exasperations of raising a family. And all of these events would have been the colors of my canvas if not for the happy opportunity of being able to spend some years in Japan.
Japan is the perfect place to plunk down a New Yorker. While it races along on one level, there is this other part of Japan that forces you to hit the mental brakes until the images racing by slow down enough to actually be seen! Eastern thought is a well from which to draw the pure water that clears the mind and strengthens the soul.
I've had the unbelievable pleasure of turning visions into realities, and of having those pieces of me scattered around the world. I'm thrilled that they've found so much acceptance in exhibitions, and I'm humbled at the thought that they hang on the walls of museums. But I have to say that I am most pleased when they speak so loudly to another soul that that person has to bring me home to continue our conversation for years to come.
For the last 18 years, I've been a teacher, too. I have all the joys of being able to step back from what I do, and think through the principles I've recognized and the pathways I've wandered. And then to offer those insights to others to help them bring out their own mental images for the rest of us to share.

Excerpt from interview with Voyage LA: "I studied theater design at New York University but always wanted to be a painter. The painting I was drawn to make was a hybrid of both painting and sculpture. My first one man show in New York were abstract paintings covered in sand. My second one may show in New York were paintings on chalkboards with texts. I’ve had one man shows in Zurich, Tokyo, and Istanbul. Afterward, I felt stuck; an artist’s block had come over me. I turned my attention to raising my daughter and focusing on her becoming an artist. Julia Adolphe is now a successful contemporary classical composer...
