MATTHIAS KÖSTER // Plafond — The shimmer of aluminium always plays a role in these paintings on aluminium panels. Places left free of paint send the incoming light right back to where it came from. The painting itself, however, is the finest of touches that spreads itself across this base material. The blonde strands of hair of the BB Girl are so airy that one can almost smell the scent—probably not the ideal way to approach contemporary painting. Matthias Köster’s painting are simply grandiose, and that is that.
