SHOTCLOCK

MARTIN PAASKESEN
16th September - 19th November
​For his first solo exhibition at Galeria Fran Reus, Martin Paaskesen has created a series of works that all center around elements such as composition, intuitive painting, and energy. Shotclock is an exhibition that unfolds Paaskesen’s interest in the dynamics between painting’s abstract and image evocative qualities. Shotclock takes its starting point in a painting of a basketball. With its simple and almost minimalist expression, it demonstrates how a combination of word and image can create an instant interpretation and how our conceptions and ideas about an image can be understood and controlled. Paaskesen expands the work’s aesthetics, its negative space, its themes of sport as an expression of lived life and human urges and instincts, and all the works in the exhibition reflect on each other thematically and aesthetically.

A shot clock is a term known from basketball and indicates that 24 seconds is given to finish your play. The parallels between the strict rules of a game and modern life’s pacing and stressful performance pressure are placed in contrast with the intuitive aspects of Paaskesen’s paintings. Here, presence and intimacy arise in the simple compositions, the expressive brushstrokes, and the immediate motives. Several of Paaskesen’s works are bodily orientated. They are discharges of energy. A kind of muscle memory that is also talked of in the world of sports.

Every work tells its own story and has its own expression but together they create a whole and an exhibition that is very much about being present in the moment, and about continually achieving different perspectives on life, presence, contemporaneity, on micro and macro cosmos. The works are in an associative dialogue with each other and flow in a stream of consciousness. The themes branch out and every painting stands for itself as a beginning with great potential.
