No Jardim do Amor – Blonay Fuchs e sua Arte
Como pintor, artista gráfico e escultor Blonay Fuchs é também um jardineiro. Suas pedras e madeiras, as quais ele trabalha com o cinzel e martelo, parecem estar crescendo em seu jardim, em uma versão urbana do paraíso. No meio dessa proliferante natureza Blonay Fuchs está novamente na terra de sua infância: seu jardim do paraíso é uma fonte de inspiração. Nele, a luxúria pela vida se alimenta de brotos formidáveis e extensa plumagem. A partir deste solo fértil ascende vida e arte sempre de uma maneira nova, unidas em braços amorosos. Se gravam em suas pedras e madeiras, como formas de procriação, de gênese, da batalha dos sexos – como uma luta pela unidade. As formas arrogantes de crescimento na natureza realçam, no papel e na tela, a constituição erótica da figura feminina como receptáculo de desejo. As cores de óleo suavizadas com areia, aplicadas a telas grossas, não promete consumação, mas sim indicar a germinação com botões florescendo. As cores à óleo atingem a tela, fugazmente, não querendo estabelecer-se, para consolidar tema e forma. Como pintor, artista gráfico e escultor, ele realmente é um jardineiro, ele revive as potentes imagens da natureza em seu mundo pictórico. Em suas viagens ele as reúne em esboços, desenhos e aquarelas, colocando-as como sementes em húmus, do qual os novos germinam. O desejo pelo novo, por novas pessoas, pela concepção pictórica, enriquece seu Jardim das Delícias, transformando-o em um Jardim do Amor.

In the Garden of Love – Blonay Fuchs and his Art
As painter, graphic artist and sculptor Blonay Fuchs is also a gardener. His stones and woods, which he works over with his chisel and hammer, appear to be growing in his garden, in an urban setting of paradise. Among this proliferating nature, Blonay Fuchs is again in the land of his childhood: his garden of paradise is a source of inspiration. In it, the lust for living feeds on swelling buds and ample plumage. From out of this fertile soil ascend life and art ever anew, united in loving arms. They imprint themselves on his stones and woods, as forms of procreation, of genesis, of the battle of the sexes – as a struggle for unity. The swelling shapes of growth in nature emboss, on paper and canvas, the erotic formation of the female figure as vessel of desire. The sand-subdued oil colors, applied to coarse canvasses, promise no consummation, but instead indicate germination with buds blossoming. The oil colors streak the canvas, fleetingly, not wanting to settle, to cement theme and form. As painter, graphic artist and sculptor he really is a gardener, as he revives the image-powers of nature in his pictorial world. Going about his journeys, he gathers them in sketches, graphics and water colors, placing them as seed in humus, out of which the new germinates. Lust for the new, for new people and pictorial design, enriches his Garden of Lusts, turning them into a Garden of Love.

Im Garten der Liebe – Über Blonay Fuchs und seine Kunst
Er ist ein Gärtner als Maler, als Zeichner und Bildhauer. Seine Steine und Hölzer, die er mit Meißel und Hammer bearbeitet, scheinen in seinem Garten gewachsen zu sein, in dem wuchernden Gelände am Fichtenberg, so städtisch platziert und doch paradiesisch verzaubernd. In dieser brodelnden Natur ist Blonay Fuchs noch einmal im Kinderland: Paradiesgärtlein als Inspirationsquelle. Hier nähren sich die Lebenslüste von quellenden Blattformen, wollüstigen Knospen, bedrängender Blütenpracht. Aus diesem Nährboden steigen Leben und Kunst geschwisterlich vereint immer wieder auf und prägen sich in seinen Steinen und Hölzern ein als Urformen von Zeugungen, Genesis, Kampf der Geschlechter, als Ringen um Einheit. Die schwellenden Formen des Wachstums in der Natur treiben auf Papier und Leinwand die erotische Ausformung der Frauengestalt als Gefäß der Begierde, als klingendes Instrument der Verlockung. Die sandig gedämpften Ölfarben auf groben Leinwänden verheißen nicht Vollendung, sondern Keimen, Knospen, Blühen. „Wer die Schönheit angeschaut mit Augen, ist dem Tode schon anheim gegeben:“ August von Platen hat in seinem Tristan-Gedicht den schmalen Grat der Kunstwirkung ausgemessen. Die Ölfarbe streift flüchtig die Leinwand, mag sich nicht festsetzen, Thema und Form nicht zementieren. Er ist doch ein Gärtner als Maler, als Zeichner und Bildhauer, weil er die Bildkräfte der Natur in seiner Bildwelt aufleben lässt. Auf seinen Reisen sammelt er sie ein in Skizzen und Zeichnungen und Aquarellen, und setzt sie als Samenkörner vorausahnend in den Humus, aus dem Neues keimen wird. Die Lust auf Neues, auf neue Menschen und Bildgestalten veredelt seinen Garten der Lüste in einen Garten der Liebe.

Sobre as Imagens
Sabine Kutt, nascida e criada na Alemanha Oriental, testemunhou a queda do muro de Berlim, se mudou para os Estados Unidos em 2001 e desde 2014 vive em São Paulo, Brasil. Sua formação européia, seu profundo conhecimento da cultura Americana e suas novas experiências na América do Sul são tecidas em um tapete artístico que inequivocamente encontra eco em seus trabalhos fotográficos.
Os trabalhos anteriores de Sabine em coreografia e dança influenciaram significantemente seu apreço pela arte da fotografia. Ela acredita que suas imagens refletem a estrutura dinâmica do movimento. Sabine também compõem fotografias como cenografias, levando o observador para um outro mundo quando a cortina se abre.
O mundo que ela explora é encontrado em nossas imaginações, memórias e sonhos; um mundo do passado e do futuro. Como tal, suas imagens são etéreas e difusas. Sua esperança é a de capturar essa parte mais profunda de nossas vidas em suas imagens, as trazendo para a superfície e para o presente.

About The Images
Born and grown up in East Germany Sabine Kutt witnessed the fall of the Berlin wall, she moved to the USA in 2001 and now lives in Sao Paulo, Brazil since 2014. Her European background, her deep knowledge of the American culture and her new experiences in South America are woven into an artistic carpet which unmistakably finds its echo in her photographic works.
Sabine’s early work in choreography and dance significantly influenced her later appreciation of the art of photography. She believes that her images reflect the dynamic structure of movement. She also composes photographs as stage scenes, taking the visitor into another world when the curtain opens.
The world she explores is to be found in our imaginations and memories and dreams; a world of past and future. As such, the images are ethereal and diffused. It is her hope to capture this deeper part of our lives in my pictures, bringing them to the surface and into the present.

Zu den Fotoarbeiten
Sabine Kutt, geboren und aufgewachsen in Ostdeutschland, erlebt den Fall der Berliner Mauer, diese alles ergreifende, befreiende Umwälzung. Im Jahr 2001 zieht sie in die USA, seit 2014 lebt sie in São Paulo, Brasilien. Ihr europäischer Hintergrund, ihre tiefen Kenntnisse der amerikanischen Kultur und ihre neuen Erfahrungen in Südamerika verweben sich zu einem künstlerischen Teppich, der in den fotografischen Arbeiten unverkennbar seinen Widerhall findet.
Sabine Kutts Interesse an Fotografie wurde jedoch auch nachhaltig durch ihre erste Karriere als Choreographin und Tänzerin beeinflusst. Demzufolge reflektieren ihre Arbeiten die Dynamik und Struktur von Bewegungen und Bewegungsabläufen.
Sabine Kutts fotografischen Bilder gleichen den Kompositionen von Bühnenszenen. Wie im Theater werden die Betrachter in eine andere Welt versetzt wenn sich der Vorhang öffnet.
Die Welten, die Sabine Kutt darstellt, befinden sich in unseren Vorstellungen. Aber wir leben in unseren Vorstellungen hoechst selten im Jetzt. Meisst ueberdenken wir die Vergangenheit oder stellen uns Zukuenftiges vor. Als solches sind die in unseren Koepfen erschaffenen optischen Imaginationen meist diffus und unklar.
Wir können die unentliche Vielzahl der immer wieder entstehenden Bilder in unseren Gedankenwelten nicht wirklich fassen. Diese tiefen, flutartigen Momente unseres Lebens gestaltet Sabine Kutt in fotografischen Bildern, so dass sie Teil unsere Gegenwart werden können.
