Christoph Roßner - Transparent Trees

“Transparent Trees presents a series of paintings that invite the viewer to wander through a strange and imaginary park, offering a poetic and whimsical peek into Christoph Roßner’s world. Inspired by comic books, Expressionism, the quirkiness of Surrealism, and a general love of the mundane, Roßner’s paintings “resemble dreams that are receding from consciousness.” By extracting moments from the everyday and combining them with chance and bizarreness, Roßner begins by setting the stage within which things can happen. Trees, grass, flowers and paths painted in faded and thinly painted colors, appear unsettlingly transparent and without weight - the way things might appear in a dream. Things seem like they have emerged out of a comic book, strangely alienated and yet curiously familiar. With the ease of his brushstroke, Roßner creates his theatrical environment, setting the stage to introduce his characters.”
