Paco Knöller – It Breathes Blue
Paco Knöller (*1950), based in Berlin, has been connected for decades with Ahrenshoop and the landscape around the Saaler Bodden through numerous work stays and personal ties. In the early 1970s, he was a student of Joseph Beuys at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Knöller, who is well known as a draftsman, increasingly explores the transitions between lines and the color space of painting. The exhibition predominantly features large-format colorful works on wood, created through a complex process using lacquer, oil pastels, and knives. The focus is on landscape in a very broad sense: cosmic events and their resonance in human experience.
