Now Representing: Marius von Brasch

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 28, 2022

Jenn Singer is pleased to announce that we are now representing UK-based German-British contemporary painter Marius von Brasch.

Von Brasch's work, which includes oils on canvas and works on paper, highlights the unconscious filters that shape perception. "My painting practice translates these liminal layers, legible or illegible, into the medium and materiality of paint. I seek to make them tangible and relatable on the contained painting surface. Each is a unique condensation of this process. The paintings work as ambiguous ‘inscapes’, which are inhabited by enigmatic scenarios revealing mark making and figures in landscapes or more abstract colour fields."

Parallels to this approach in Renaissance illuminations in alchemical manuscripts are quoted indirectly in Von Brasch's work. The early symbolic alchemical imagery addresses journeys of transformation, identities and evolution of consciousness, "however, my interest here is to find new painterly ways to speak about these subjects, without referring literally to the ancient imagery. Furthermore, a dialogue with Baroque, mythological and contemporary paintings, which address the subject of identity, allows me to be part of an ongoing living tradition. I am developing ways of rendering visible the elusive evolutions of identity".
