- Bleeding Picture -
A square drawn in pencil suggests a framed picture field into which a calligraphic figure is inserted. In the upper right corner are clusters of red paint, from which a trail of drips leads through the figuration and beyond the picture frame, ending in a red dot. This creates a contrast with the red ball of color, which makes the color, resembling blood, simultaneously present inside and outside the picture. The pencil figuration also has an aura that extends beyond the frame.
About the artist
Ouhi Cha studied painting at Chung-Ang University in Seoul from 1964 to 1969. In 1977, she traveled to Europe, first living in Paris, and then, from 1981 on, alternating between Berlin and Seoul. In addition to painting and drawing, she began producing lithographs and illustrating volumes of poetry. In 1996, she received a scholarship from the Senator of Culture of Berlin, and in 2001, she was awarded the Seok Ju Cultural Foundation Art Prize. Her work, which combines Korean calligraphic tradition with Western modernity, has been exhibited numerous times in Germany (Berlin, Düsseldorf, and Dresden), South Korea (Seoul and Busan), and Japan (Tokyo and Kyoto).
GERMAN VERSION
Ouhi Cha (*1945 Busan), Ohne Titel, 1988. Mischtechnik, 31,8 cm x 23,3 cm (Blattgröße), unten in Blei mit „Ouhi Cha“ signiert und auf „[19]88“ datiert.
- in gutem Zustand
- Blutendes Bild -
Die mit Bleistift gezogene Quadratform suggeriert ein gerahmtes Bildfeld, in welches sich eine kalligraphische Figuration einfügt. In der oberen rechten Ecke ballt sich rote Farbe, von der aus eine Tropfspur durch die Figuration bis über das Bildfeld hinausführt und in einem roten Punkt endet. Dieser bildet einen Kontrapunkt zur roten Farbballung, so dass die wie Blut wirkende Farbe gleichzeitig innerhalb und außerhalb des Bildes präsent ist. Zugleich weist die Bleistiftfiguration eine ebenfalls über den Rahmen hinausreichende Aura auf.

About the artwork
The form structure in front of the eye is overlapped by the frame. Thus, the frame does not open up a space in which something is presented, but rather shows the seemingly arbitrary section of a comprehensive context that cannot be framed as such.
We see forms that stand in a structure of tension with each other, whereby the individual black and brown forms, which continue almost endlessly beyond the frame, already show a tension in themselves, since they are not only forms, but also surfaces - form surfaces, while the light blue surface ground is at the same time forms that appear as surface forms. The formed surfaces and surface forms are nested within each other and form a structure that encompasses all elements.
The angular arrangement of the black and brown shaped surfaces gives the structure a tectonic character. The tension is thus heightened to the point of paradox, since the black shape at the front is overlapped by the brown shape at the bottom in the center of the picture, which would be impossible in real space. It is precisely through this "paradox" that Möbius demonstrates that the paradoxical is reality within painting. It is, so to speak, the most original possibility of painting, which distinguishes it from the other arts. In combination with the tectonic formations, Jürgen Möbius creates an archaic primordial painting, which, however, should not be confused with the autonomous color and form cosmos of Suprematism à la Kasimir Malevich. Instead of homogeneous, perfectly colored forms, here the colors are deliberately applied unevenly, and the light blue is mixed with the brown in a manner determined by the brushstroke. At the edges of the surface forms, the uneven application of paint allows the wood of the unprimed hardboard to show through. In this way, Möbius illustrates that we are dealing with a painting that has been created by an act of painting - an act, however, that takes hold of the original principles of painting and thus realizes painting as such.
About the artist
From 1959 to 1965 Jürgen Möbius studied painting at the University Institute for Art and Work Education in Mainz. He also studied philosophy and art history at the University of Mainz. Afterwards he worked as a freelance artist in Mainz.
At first, Möbius created material reliefs and installations, then, around 1974, he turned increasingly to conceptual art and added cinematic means. During this phase he wrote the manifesto-like essay "Principles of Supranatural Landscape" (1979).
From 1981 on, Möbius concentrated on painting and searched for artistic ways to "treat intellectual and sensual perception equally in the fusion of representational and abstract pictorial elements" (Wolfgang Zemter). He found inspiration on his study trips to Thailand and Sri Lanka.
"The pure painting of Jürgen Möbius flows through us as a timeless expression of memory and energy, ploughing our perception and bringing us the happiness of seeing authentic, immovable form.

About the artwork
In the painting black, optically dominant forms can be seen, which in their arrangement at right angles to each other have a proto-architectural character. They are, so to speak, always already given original forms. At the same time, however, the forms are surfaces of color, and thus genuine painting. In order to make the painterly character of the painting clearly visible, Jürgen Möbius has applied red-toned strokes that have preserved the brushstroke. These are traces of an act of painting.
The diagonal layers of red strokes merge into the upper white area, which oscillates between brushwork and homogeneous flatness, while the central white field, into which a black bar protrudes, has a decidedly planar character.
The sharp contrast between the autonomous black surface forms, reminiscent of Kasimir Malevich, and the free brushstroke, which is not bound to any motif, creates an enormous pictorial tension, which is conveyed by the white, but at the same time is intensified by the virulent black-and-white contrast.
In addition to the tense contrast of form and color, there is also a contrast between the dynamic of the brushstroke and the static of the black surface forms, whereby the diagonal alignment of these forms also gives the static a dynamic, while at the same time the layered brushstrokes have something static about them.
Added to this structure of tension is the fact that the painting ground, the unprepared hardboard, is clearly present as such in the picture. In this way, it becomes clear once again that we are not dealing with an autonomous cosmos of form and color, as in Suprematism, but with a painting created by the artist's hand.
With this work, Jürgen Möbius explores the possibilities of painting and thematizes painting in terms of its twofold origin, the trace of the guided brush and the painterly form, which gains its independence precisely by absorbing the brushstroke into itself.
