Lothar Böttcher, Ignus Gerber & Justice Mokoena
“The lighter side”
In Lothar Böttcher’s sculptures glass becomes the focal point. Through glass the artist aims to manipulate and in a sense capture light. He attempts to make the viewer aware of the surroundings within the glass. Creating lenses, he offers a point of view (abstractly), changing perspective and observation of the contiguous space.
Böttcher asks whether we really observe or understand our role in the world around us due to filters like beliefs and personal experiences. Everybody has a unique point of view. The variables are infinite.
“Without light there is no subject. Without subject (particles and waves) there will be no light. Call it the “Ubuntu” of the Universe. There’s a funny side to existence if one thinks of everything as black and therefore invisible, until there’s light! Until it happens…” – Ignus Gerber
“Sound is capable to create various environments transporting the listener into a virtual world. Sound cannot only be heard, but can be felt and even seen, creating all kinds of possibilities. Just close your eyes and see the light within”- Justice Mokoena
Mokoena is strongly influenced by his ancestral background and native language, Lobedu. Since his youth he has been fascinated by various sounds from all walks of life. The artist attempts to use these sounds to communicate to others his perspective in life and a unique cultural background.

pretentious twaddle
Ragnauth Rostrum comment: Pretentious twaddle taking up space at a worthwhile blog.
Keep up the good work here, African Painters!
Creativity's the mirror of the soul.
Both for those who have the courage to bare their souls on canvas,glass, paper etc and for those who take time to look at the created peice.
It's here that we connect as human beings, in that inevitable space called vulnerability. We are all uniquely human after all.

I enjoy the idea of filters. I've always believed in such things and as a writer I often use vague descriptions or amibuity to try and show the question of "what is good, what is evil?" Or are they but lenses, filters, glass that distorts the image.
I loved this entry! Very cool. I am new to African painting culture, but I promise to come back for some more : )

Hi,
This blog's title has great potential. And the articles are interesting.
When I saw the date, it took me some time to figure out what was wrong :-) :2007.
Are you going to update this soon?
It sure deserves.
Kind regards,
José
As an appraiser I can attest to the fact that we, in the west do not know as much about African Art as we should. Thanks for such an interesting and informative blog.
i love this blog! Keep up good works... it to be nice if we can known each other.
In Lothar Böttcher’s sculptures glass is the core. Through glass the artist aims to manipulate and in a sense capture light. He attempts to make the viewer aware of the surroundings within the glass.

This glass sculptures are very interesting and made me think that they resemble with people.Lot's of times we filter what surround us , but also we filter the experieces that we encounter on the path of life.
I also loved the idea with light.

I like to know the different cultures and their art. And after little bit of research I find two cultures very interesting. One is of Egypt and other is Africa. Thanks for sharing African art in such nice manner.
