Thoughts, conversations, impressions

Ross Bleckner did not personally travel from New York to Seefeld for the opening of his exhibition at the end of June 2024. However, he conveyed his thoughts as a text contribution for the catalog, which was published on the occasion of the exhibition. "any interest I have in flowers is an interest I actually have in pictures of flowers," he says, for example. For him, the pictures are placeholders for the light and the dark. They allow us to find beauty when it seems as if the world around us is falling apart. The flower paintings on display at KiS date from the years 1995 to 2022 and mark different stages in Bleckner's life, which he has realized artistically.
