DESCRIPTION;LANGUAGE=en:Vernissage: Friday\, 20 November 2026\, 8:00 pm\n\n
 Exhibition dates: 21 November 2026 to 20 February 2027\n\nCurator: Prof. C
 laus Friede\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday to Saturday\, 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm\, an
 d during office hours by prior telephone appointment.\n\n\n\nAt first glan
 ce\, Jens Rausch’s paintings are closely associated with trees\, forests\,
  trunks\, woodland\, branches and foliage. Other series explore mountains\
 , bodies of water\, experimental fields\, and topographical and structural
  surfaces\, collectively entitled “Miles”.\n\n\n\nIt becomes clear that th
 e decipherability of what we see on the canvases is merely a surface pheno
 menon\; once viewers engage more deeply with the works\, a new space of pe
 rception begins to emerge.\n\n\n\nAlongside oil paints\, Rausch uses natur
 al materials\, layering them onto predominantly coarse canvases. This crea
 tes not only the painterly trompe-l’œil of an illusionistic spatial depth\
 , but also a tangible\, informal space. Crusty\, resinous\, earthy\, powde
 ry\, charred and leaf-like textures merge\, creating an irresistible inter
 play of near and distant perspectives.\n\n\n\nComparable to the approach o
 f a sculptor\, Rausch works by adding or removing material. Ash\, soot\, l
 ime\, bitumen\, iron oxide and collaged paper\, for example\, are used to 
 build up and densify the surface. He then scratches into the work with sha
 rp-edged tools\, creating drawn lines\, structures\, fibres and branching 
 patterns while removing material in the process.\n\n\n\nWith works being p
 resented in Austria for the first time\, the exhibition Durchforstete Wirk
 lichkeit (Reality Surveyed) invites viewers to explore different levels of
  perception. Above all\, vertical dynamics emerge\, drawing viewers into p
 ictorial spaces that are aesthetically compelling\, intense\, materially t
 angible and lyrical.\n\n\n\nIn his recent paintings\, the artist reflects 
 on the motifs of landscape and forest\, exploring and dissecting the vario
 us forms of reality they embody.
