Stefan HOENERLOH

The first important aspect of the style of Hoenerloh is his adherence to the qualities of photo realism. By painting images of buildings in this style, he is able to comment on the real life symbols that architecture represents for society. For man, architecture is often an indication of status, a mark of his achievements in life. However, in these barren, photo-realistic city scapes, the viewer is made to see the humor in this idea of architecture as a status symbol. The wear and tear that his buildings show also give the viewer a sense of how long they have been around. Along with the age of the buildings comes a sense of dignity from the notion that they have been around much longer than we have and will continue to outlast us after we are gone. This idea further reinforces how small we are in the grand scheme of the world.

Perhaps even more important than photo-realism is the fact that these spaces come from the imagination of the artist. His imagination gives these spaces a ghost-like luminosity and an impression that they were once inhabited by humans and are now just the remnants of a society that is long gone. These unidentified, meticulously detailed areas speak of what can be to come of us and therefore have a personal and haunting effect on every viewer.

Stefan Hoenerloh shows a developed civilization now in ruins and virtually no longer in existance. Through this process, he makes us aware of the arrogance of man and the side effects of wanting too much, while providing a way to be masters of our own destiny.

1960 Born in Karlsruhe, Federal Republic of Germany
since 1980 he lives and works in Berlin, Germany
