SEBASTIAN GOLLUB VOM SEHEN ZUM HÖREN

What's it about?

Sebastian Gollub (*1971) describes in his painting what is. From the silent clarity of being, the appearance of the work speaks in each of his paintings in precisely matching accordance with the original. This painting shows in the outwardly visible the precision of the unspoken, which can be experienced when, in viewing the images, the impressions arise that what is seen has already been heard internally. Born and raised in Hamburg, Gollub was initially trained as a carpenter in his father's business, where he still works today. Since the age of 19, he spent about one and a half decades transforming concepts and sequences of words into visible forms through hand-modeled sculptures and line work, translating from the audible to the visible. In his painting, he now works in the opposite direction. The process, comparable to the moment when 'one is at a loss for words, knowing what is going on,' resembles a conversation in which the artist engages with the unspoken.
