current project:
global heads - faces
"beyond faces" is a series of figural-abstract portraits of well-known as well as unknown people, which become images of interior conditions and experiences. Arranged in an installation, the artist's "faces" show an unconventional continuation of the cubistic and impressionistic tradition. In the nutshell of the series we find the self of the human being, above all his or her head as an emblematic mimesis of his or her mental center. The heads, often resembling archaic masks, are dissolved into intensely contrasting color fields - some up to abstraction. Horstmann-Köpper's "beyond faces" shroud all too apparent mimic in order to unveil hidden and characteristic traits, providing an in-sight into the countenance of the human air. In this series, the artist shows irritating and sibylline images, casting a spell over the beholder, rather than present all-around felicitous portrayals of a photorealistic kind.
