Kai Klahre (*1981) sees himself as a drawer. When he paints, he is a drawer who paints, sometimes also a painter who draws. The beginning of his works is an indeterminate drawing. Lines become shapes and the shapes become figures, animals and plants; often there is a confluence. Plants become bone structures, bones become people.

 

Klahre's compositions possess a liveliness that the artist creates by allowing figurative motifs to flow into an abstract background. Sometimes it is also an omission, so that at these spots the background again becomes the foreground - openings that pose new questions.

 

Kai Klahre studied free painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg and is a Meisterschüler under Prof. Thomas Hartmann. He lives and works in Nuremberg.
