\nIn his work, Diederik Gerlach approaches reality from the perspective of the game, according to Schiller\u2019s adage \u2018\u2026er ist nur da ganz Mensch wo er spielt\u2026\u2019 (\u2026he is only completely a man when he plays<\/em>\u2026). He uses his own memories and experiences, and draws from visual material from the 1950s in order to construct a new reality. The paintings and works on paper have a typical palette of mixed colors and often contain peculiar elements and forms that set the image in motion. The series works on paper Elf Br\u00fcder<\/em> (Eleven Brothers), Acht Schwestern<\/em> (Eight Sisters) and Jaap Boon<\/em>, are partly autobiographical. Jaap Boon chronicles the adventures of a 10-year-old boy, from this series also a video was made in collaboration with Eric de Vries.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Tobias Gerber shows a series of plaster drawings, made by first scratching and pressing an image into a slab of soft clay and subsequently pouring plaster over it. After setting and seperating it from the clay the drawing is left on the plaster in low relief. Gerber compares the plaster drawings to bathroom mirrors that not only show a reflection of yourself, but can also be used to reflect on art. He quotes artists like Georges Braque, Bernard Buffet, Asger Jorn and Franz Kline, but also his own father who made abstract paintings. In doing so he unites modern art history in a solidified picture gallery. Sometimes a piece of towel or sock protrudes from the plaster, daily life is thus integrated in the work. Gerber also uses German – Dutch word games in the plaster rectangles, such as Ohrloch<\/em> (meaning ear hole<\/em> in German, but war<\/em> in Dutch) and tot morgen<\/em> (until tomorrow<\/em> in Dutch and death tomorrow<\/em> in German). Because of their creamy white colour, the artworks appear to be identical, but on closer inspection the various styles and depictions start to emerge from the surface.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”]
