Near Field Paintings
Philipp Haager’s atmospheric, mostly large-format images are produced in a lengthy process of layering countless ink glazes onto water-soaked unprimed canvases. In a finely nuanced interplay of luminescence and opacity, light-flooded pictorial spaces open up – despite the often exclusive use of black and grey tones – that display a iridescence, perhaps conveying what Haager would call a memory of nature.
