‘Abstraction […] is the point at which the world stops explaining itself and begins to reveal itself, without allowing itself to be grasped.’ Michael Anthony Müller (*1970)
Michael Anthony Müller’s Titanomachy refers to a famous battle from Greek mythology: the revolt of the Olympian gods against the older Titans. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades triumphed over the Titans and established a new world order. Yet the artist deliberately refrains from depicting dramatic scenes of battle. In his abstraction, this traditional subject of painting is not represented but made perceptible. In the contrast between gestural areas and calm surfaces, in the interplay of detail and overview, a pictorial space opens up that oscillates between order and dissolution.
