Jens Einhorn. Eletric Eyes

They were six of us and only two. I immediately knew that we would have lost the battle. But we were already above them. A cluster of breath, blood and sand. My heart beats in my temples. A glimmer. Timeless. Disrespectful. Seconds of eternity. The end endless and yet my jacket should be somewhere around here.
The work of Jens Einhorn food seem a scenario by the end of the world. The images of the series Too Much Future and The Endless End convey the feeling of calm after a disaster beyond all expectations. It seems to have been sbattacchiati furiously from storms and clouds of smoke just to settle down again, only because of their formal clarity. Einhorn makes you feel a certain pleasure in this alleged destruction with the use, in this series of vivid colors. The chaos slowly turns into harmony. The letter E that is found in some images is once more the struggle that is felt in every piece. Can mean both "The End" - the end - that Eternity, all new beginnings in the endless cycle. The label also marks the completion of the work to the artist, the last act gestural image. As the music beats images, fragments of pixels, operate within a gentle mist permeated with colored light. Youth culture and music are an important setting for the works of Einhorn and often finds himself floating impressions as audio-visual equipment.
The letter E can therefore be even electronic or ecstasy or both. Electronic music is also often linked to the notion of post-apocalyptic. He represented a means of expression of social criticism for many artists who have drawn dystopian visions of the future, processandole in a new technology.
Jens Einhorm was born in the former German Democratic Republic and is therefore very much influenced by the socio-political events of the '90s when the music played an important role for a young artist, as a primary tool of expression. He played in punk bands from the mid-90s, and then embark on its way in the visual arts thanks to photography and music. Jens studied photography in Leipzig and sculpture and new media with Astrid Klein, and focused more on painting with a master with Tal R Academy of Düsseldorf to focus more on painting.
The method mash-up of Einhorn, which makes use of the fabric, pigments, glue and colors, gives a characteristic of "object" to their surprising images making their presence in space. The very structure of those tiny visual elements makes them look like abstract paintings or digital. The exhibition marks an important starting point for the artist's career, for the first time in Italy, presenting a series of new paintings that are the main body of the latest works of Einhorn.
