All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players … You might look for a “philosophy of the gesture” in these recent paintings from Tim Eitel’s brush. The artist has an uncanny knack of pinning down the moment when there’s more to a pose than immediately hits the eye; but mostly the settings take over: anonymous spaces in infinite shades of gray and green that seem so self-sufficient that it becomes very difficult for the human element to assert itself. But still it does, as fragile symbols in quietly menacing surroundings.


Tim Eitel: A Stage spotlights paintings from between 2004 and 2006. Their unity of purpose makes them into a loosely connected group of works. The artist has selected shots from his photographic sketchbook, illustrating his view of the world and his work process. The photos accompany a conversation with writer Christoph Peters, best known for his novel Das Tuch aus Nacht, which will appear in an English translation in 2007. They first met on a stage, as members of a panel discussion, and have kept the dialogue going ever since.
