- 2. HANS-PETER KROHN LIGHTPAINTING PORTFOLIO The Munich photographer H.P.K. likes to use the term lightpainting to make it easier to get into what must be called abstract photographs. In actual fact, his pictures approach more the artistic expression of the plain surface art originating from painting or graphics, and yet they are nevertheless different. Should the pictorial surface art require a base in order to apply the color pigments in whatever kind of form language, Krohn’s color pictures are the framework in themselves, and their pigmentary photographic layers are “exposed” totally freely, an expressive expression of stringent formality. H.P.K. obviously has a great command of the multifarious possibilities of photographic materials. In producing his pictures, he uses tactile techniques, body moving sequences with moving optic. Any comparisons drawn with Pollock’s painting can be made with very good reason. With H.P.K. as he likes to explain himself, it can well be that the artistic final product is first created in his head. His special technique then, to a large extent, expresses this image, thereby creating a non-repeatable and no longer to be manipulated unique work of art. Even those who are unfamiliar with such styles of working realize that there has been absolutely no recourse to using any kind of ohotographic tricks such as double- exposures or negative shifts. The lightpainter’s convictions would not tolerate such optical superficial tricks. The final product is therefore always the entire photo without any cuts or partial cuts. Only when creating the final product does H.P.K. go a significant step further. This Gemini spirit cuts his formats into double pictures or triptichons and thus creates additional refractions of the motifs. An interesting moment of tension which the observer can get into. If we pursue the most recent work of the ligt painter we can see that his images point the way to greater strictness in forms, a discipline which leads him to almost monographic espression. The colors are more pastel, the shapes more extensive, covering greater surfaces. Without a doubt, the photographer and musician H.P.K., who works exclusively with 35mm camera, has touched on virgin territory with his art. We await his next steps with excitement. It’s going to be exciting to follow.
