About the Item
Alex Kiessling war der erste Mitarbeiter der Galerie in Wien und engagierte sich auch gleich dafür, Künstler seiner Generation im Ausstellungsprogramm unterzubringen. Die Ausstellung „Junge Realisten“ war dabei das erste Ergebnis und führte auch zur ersten Präsentation seiner Arbeiten in den Galerieräumlichkeiten. Bald danach traf er die richtige Entscheidung sich voll auf die Kunst zu konzentrieren und durchzustarten, wobei eine Personale im Museum Angerlehner einer der letzten Höhepunkte war.
China Girl stammt aus dem Jahr 2008 und markiert den Beginn eines wichtigen Abschnitts in der Malerei von Alex Kiesling, der 2009 mit seiner Schwimmer-Serie beginnt. Porträts von Schwimmer, erkenntlich durch Badehaube und Schwimmbrillen, die vor einem monochromen Hintergrund positioniert sind. Das Motiv geht auf einen Tagtraum zurück und wird zu einer ganzen Serie von sehr eindringlichen Porträts.
Die Basis all dieser Arbeit ist diese äußert expressive China Girl vor grellem gelbem Hintergrund. Kaum geöffnete Auge, sichtbare Zähne ohne Lächeln und eine bullige Nase ergeben ein äußerst markantes Profil, das dem Betrachter nicht unbeeindruckt lassen kann und dessen Wirkung durch Hintergrund und Perspektive noch verstärkt wird. Es ist kein psychologisierendes Porträt, sondern ein Pop-Ikone, die Alex Kiesling hier geschaffen
