Figures

Erich Lindenberg was one those artists who succeeded in performing the miracle of grounding human beings on a surface - on canvas and cardboard - using painterly means and without constructing a perspectival prison. Out of subtleness and solidity he used oil, varnish, and pastels to weave spaces in which reclining, sitting, and standing figures are firmly rooted in the world and at the same time have acquired new latitude with the corresponding freedom of movement.
Lindenberg constructs a more or less solid shell for his bodies. Physical forms are produced in this way that are taken in by volume. More than mere shadows, but less than bodies made of flesh and blood, they derive their existence from the firm outer skin, which originates from the contours of the bodies from Pompeii caked with ash.
