German artist Philipp Donald Gobel's early works primarily focused on painting. However, as he discovered that the pure context of painting was no longer sufficient to express himself, he adopted a completely new approach. In the process of "deconstructing" and "reconstructing" old works, he aimed to create expressions beyond the confines of the canvas. The artwork "Untitled," created in 2012, is an example of Gobel's transformation. Using techniques such as tearing, destroying, and binding, he sculpted the two-dimensional canvas into a three-dimensional space. This series of changes resembles the metamorphosis of a butterfly, and the artwork was ultimately completed in 2021, offering a new artistic perspective by deconstructing traditional aesthetics.
Artist
Philipp Donald Göbel
(Germany , b. 1966)
Philipp Donald Göbel currently works and resides in Frankfurt, Germany. His early works were predominantly figurative, but upon realising that traditional painting no longer expressed his ideas adequately, he adopted a process of "deconstruction" and "recomposition" of old works to create entirely new and unconventional modes of creation. His exhibition piece, "Untitled," showcases shapes breaking free from the frames, reflecting a transformative process akin to a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis. The destruction symbolises a shift, much like the metamorphosis of a butterfly, bringing art into a new form and aesthetic state.
