Kritik

Prof. Markus Lüpertz und Rainer Magold

Magolds work is like a “diary of emotions”. Completed pictures are
results of a spontaneous, almost intoxicating duct, motivated by the
Artists land- and body scapelike impressions as well as proximity
to mineral, vegetable and organic structures are characteristic for
Magolds paintings. However not simple illustration but
conversion to life - to nature is his intention, as a mediative tool.

His painting of emotions and free energies connects western arts
with far eastern spirituality. Magold paints the invisible which
only he himself perceives, he paints his emotions.

So by meeting his paintings one inevitably meets the artist. Thus Magold
reveals his true self to us, mighty, strong and with mercyless
honesty. In my judgement there are no more authentic arts than these.
Interior worlds, emerged from the deepest layers of the artists soul
and mixed with the miscellaneous experiences of a life of creativity
in fashion industries, which led the artist through nearly all continents,
are being transformed into external worlds with their own right to
exist taking shape as new realities.

His painterly talent is unquestionable. Structurally the paintings
are carried out with consistency and burst with vitality. Perhaps
the essence of his work is his personal honesty to make them alive.
In an absolutely unique way Magold paints a great diary of emotions.
It holds very material snapshots of the artists interior reflections of
a subjective life. Completely in the sense of Cézannes and Gaugin,
the works of Rainer Magold represent a nature parallel to nature.
They require illustrations of true occurence yet are not rooted in
the visible world. Leading his specific field, he is also a
prominent representative of contemporary postmodernism.

So allow yourself to be captured by the ever
present vitality and energy of his works. Let yourself be seduced
by these paintings and enjoy the power of their charm.
