Penner - Village

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been an artist's aspiration throughout the centuries. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

This work is part of a series in which Penner demonstrates his penchant for playful compositions. The anecdotal subject, drawn from reality, undergoes a process of expressionist transfiguration, predominantly through geometric figures. The fluid, arabesque-like graphic line leads to a rationalization with fairytale-like, almost surreal overtones. The influence of Paul Klee is also evident, especially in the fairytale-like quality of the subjects.
