Ekkehard Tischendorf, born in Dresden in 1976, dedicates himself in his painting practice to realistic visual worlds. Thereby figures and pictorial space enter an ordered interrelationship with reality in his small and large-format works. Figurative realism is surrounded by the distorted reality of pictorial space, which being empty of representation, appears abstract. These pictorial descriptions draw their substance from his everyday perceptions, as he takes people, his intimate surroundings, specific landscapes, and both social and urban spaces as his visual themes.
In the individual compositional arrangements this results in images of situations and actions, which for their interpretation strongly depend on the figure as actor. Posture, movement, gaze, and facial expression give a psychological flavour to the visual message. His figurative motifs thereby refer to classically standardized genres of patterns of representation throughout art history.
