Experience The Fine Art of Rudi Holler

My interest as a painter lies primarily in shifting the parameters of what i think I know about my cultural reality. By skewing perspectives, colours, planes and linear correlations through accidental photography, and strategic placement, I aim to derail my visual 'knowledge' and recreate my world as a series of moments to be experienced with a  continually changing set of perceptual tools. I've chosen photography as the basis and catalyst for these experiments for the simple reason that this is the medium which most approximates our sense of  the world in which we live, and by default implies a verity that seems inarguable. By altering this seeming truthfulness, the viewer has no choice but to recode their faculties of comprehension, by virtue of which a new reality presents itself to be negotiate at strictly face value, with a limited or  nonexistent narrative schema to serve as a cognitive guide post. The act of painting these altered realities ultimately serves to further mediate what we think we know is real.
