The Berlin painter Pius Fox presents Walking Forward Looking Backward, his now third solo exhibition at Galerie Christian Lethert. In it he brings together works on canvas and paper in very different formats, in which he painterly explores aspects of temporality, fragmentation and contrary dynamics.
When you look backward while walking forward, you can quickly stumble. The body strives forward while the mind still lingers in the past. The ›image‹ expressed in the title of the exhibition holds potential for conflict, but engaging with it is worthwhile. Pius Fox recently formulated in an interview: »The word ›Geschichte‹ contains the idea of multiple layers. It refers both to history and to a narrative.
