In his works, Reinhard Klessinger (b. 1947) consistently draws attention to the dual meaning of the word reflection as mirroring and as intellectual engagement and, in so doing, fosters a special relationship to the perception of our surroundings and the objects we see.

In the current exhibition, the St. Blasien-born artist is showing works from 1987 and from the last two years. In both periods, Klessinger incorporated reflective materials as a sculptural element into his works. This ambivalence, of “digressing” into unfamiliar territory and being thrown back on one’s own point of view, is an essential characteristic of Klessinger’s work as a sculptor and draughtsman.
