Oil painting: The Solution of the Problems - Rug: Albert1 | ZeroPile

Oil Painting, not hanging on a wall, but placed in front of a valuable rug - that is an exciting bringing together of two works of art. New harmonies arise.

In a special exhibition in Augsburg 2015 under the title "linked", paintings by Wolfgang Lettl were combined with rugs by Jürgen Dahlmanns (RUG STAR).

For most of the paintings we managed to find a combination where the rug can enhance the subtle meaning of the painting.This way the painting and the rug mesh together.

Wolfgang Lettl writes:

The Cage

Everyone needs his own cage.
We need it so that we knowwhere we belong:
In the cage.
The cage protects us,it gives us safety,
we can straighten ourselveswith the help of its bars.
The cage has a double wall,
one should really say that it has double bars
because there is an inner and an outer cage.
We partially build the inner cage ourselves,
partlially it is built by the environment;
the outer cage is partially built by the environment
and partially by ourselves.

If the cage does not have a solid base
but is only placed over you,
you can knock it over and then you are free.
But that is very dangerous.
