Adding something to the centuries-old genre of scenery depiction is a self-confident undertaking which André Wagner has willingly tackled. He immerses us in the often mythical clearness of nature and creates light in nightly bulb exposures, barely granting room to the dark. The results are non-naturalistic landscapes, compositions of great strength that glow through the depth of the pictures. André Wagner's roots in medium and painting are thereby unmistakable. Furthermore, the time factor, which has a very different significance in painting, plays a decisive role in his works. With a striking interplay of area and depth, intense colourfulness and fading this photo-artist opposes the scenery with a radical aesthetic configuration which accomplishes the feat of directing the gaze beyond traditional horizons. In this way, composed creations with overwhelming energy and melancholic beauty emerge.
