Lot 98 | 'Professor Füselbox'
Otmar Alt (1940 Werningerode)
'Professor Füselbox', Öl auf Leinwand, 118 cm x 80 cm, signiert, 68 datiert, verso betitelt, partiell fleckig, Provenienz: Privatsammlung Hannover; "Kunst, die man erklären muss, ist langweilig." (Otmar Alt) Mit diesem Credo hat der vielseitig begabte Maler, Designer und Bildhauer Otmar Alt sein eigenes Kunstschaffen gerechtfertigt und der große kommerzielle Erfolg hat ihn dafür belohnt. Seine in knalligen Farben gestalteten oft amorphen Formen vermitteln keine tiefgründigen Wahrheiten, erzählen keine Geschichten, sondern sind selbstreferenziell, verspielt und heiter. Für Alt ist Kunst nicht elitär, sondern etwas das für jeden jederzeit zugänglich sein soll. 1960 begann er sein Studium für Angewandte Kunst in Berlin. Mitte der 1960er Jahre entwickelte Alt seinen eigenen Stil und seine Arbeiten nahmen zunehmend figurative Züge an. Die für Alt typischen "Puzzlebilder" bestehen aus reinbunten Farbfeldern, welche von präzisen Linien umrissen werden. Durch die Umrandung wird die Leuchtkraft der Farben verstärkt. Häufig zeigen sie Tiere oder seltsame Wesen und nehmen den Betrachter mit in die bunt-heitere Phantasiewelt des Künstlers. In diese Phase des Schaffens fällt das alle Farben des Regenbogens in ungleichen runden Formen abdeckende Gemälde mit dem Titel "Professor Füselbox", das von dem erst 28-Jährigen kurz nach Ende seines Studiums gefertigt wurde.
