Geheimnisvoller Architekturkosmos§Ein faszinierendes Überblickswerk zu Titus Schades eigentümlichen Bildwelten The canvas is his backdrop. Titus Schade (born 1984 in Leipzig), former master student of Neo Rauch, paints complex and enraptured pictorial worlds that are as controlled as they are unique. Half-timbered buildings, windmills, churches, and crude nineteen-sixties buildings seem strangely flattened and cut out, as if they have no volume. And they inhabit a space where conventional perspectives have become lost. The painted building modules-whether lined up in a shelving unit or occurring before the darkness of a inky black surface-form a kind of magical locality that can be entered with the eyes, but barely described in words. This catalogue brings together a large selection of these unique works, created in the period between 2009 and 2016. In its extensiveness, the monograph forms a stage for encountering Schade's backdrop-like paintings and wandering through their spaces of illusion.
