Painting with the Camera
Photography is all about seeing, about finding the remarkable in the ordinary. It does not have much to do with the subject itself, but with the way the photographer sees the subject. Because of this, the work of the painter and that of the photographer is closely connected - they both present us to their personal view of the world, colored by the way they look at it. Rainer Hosch has a powerful, sensitive look at his surroundings and with this, he manages to almost magically capture the mood of the places he travels to.
The fact that Gallery Poulsen is now showing the first Rainer Hosch solo exhibition in Denmark is a logical event. The first time we showed Rainer Hosch was back in 2009, when he joined the summer exhibition ”The Buzz of Urban Surroundings”. Everybody who came to see the show was immediately drawn to his photographs. Since then, Rainer has kept working on the New York street series and we have been walking around restless and excited, waiting for him to finish the project. Finally, here it is! In total, 68 photographs from the pulsating metropol, that I am so fond of.
The Rainer Hosch project is in perfect harmony with the fascination that I have for New York City. The compelling force the city radiates. The glamorous and mysterious, but also the tough and exhausting atmosphere. They can build just as many miles-tall skyscrapers in Dubai, but compared to New York it has no effect. The pulse of the city is incredible. The Skyline, light, architecture, street system, signs, taxis, police officers. And not least the people, all kinds in every color. Rainer Hosch really captures this New York presence - it's just like being there. Many are photographing New York, but very few people have his eye on and insight into the city, where he has lived for the past 15 years. There is an inner necessity in his project, he simply can not resist photographing the people he passes in the street of New York.
I am happy to be sharing the gallery with all the people that populate his photos in this exhibition called,
