About
Matthias Zinn: Painting means to make what I see comprehensible to myself. I paint the things within my reach. They are the basis for making discoveries. The challenge is to work against simply “succeeding”. The more the picture eludes control and loses its calculated options, the closer I can get to a formulation that feels “right”.
Matthias Zinn, born 1964 in Tegernsee, now living in Berlin – has with his drawings and paintings gained increasing recognition these past years. Thus he was prominently represented, among other places, in a 2010 comprehensive group of works at the exhibition “Ambigu – Contemporary Painting between Abstraction and Narration”, where Kunstmuseum St.Gallen undertook to show programmatic positions of present-day art.
