“In Schl\u00fcter’s watercolors you don’t see everything in detail, but everything essential. It is brilliant imagination. They capture landscapes in seasons, as something passing by. The glow in them becomes a glow in the eyes through his works. Anyone who loves Hiddensee will be enchanted by the way he captures the island.”<\/em> (Friedrich Schorlemmer in the foreword to Torsten Schl\u00fcter’s book NORDLICHTER)

An interview with Torsten Schl\u00fcter about the “Hiddensee Art Garden”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition is different every evening. They sometimes show entire cycles of works. Why?

Certain sequences in particular create a unique approach. Art is actually always revealed through the work as a whole. The more you know about it, the more you can classify and enjoy the individual work as a viewer. It really is a school of seeing, that’s for sure. But it’s important to me that it comes across as light. Without much pathos.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anyone familiar with your early work will see one thing above all: the works before 1989 were darker in color. That also has to do with your biography and the fall of the Wall?<\/p>\n

Yes, my painting has become lighter. Perhaps my experiences in India also play a role. After all, everything is connected.<\/em>
In the end, however, it is always the light.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How do the pastels with the cheeky seagulls actually get their even cheekier titles?

That’s because I’m presenting the seagulls live on this wall. I also call it my “seagull wall”. When I showed the work there, I sometimes made a spontaneous comment about it. The slogan then often became the title. That has somehow become ritualized. Every seagull has its own identity. But this kind of poetry is actually often a kind of walking aid for the viewer. Or visual aid.<\/em><\/p>\n

Do sketches play a major role?<\/p>\n

The drawing is definitely my training camp! Without the safety in the drawing, I would, for example. I could not approach a Northern Lights watercolor so freely. The exploration of drawing always brings with it new artistic freedom. It is ultimately like this: behind the creation of a watercolor that appears to be “thrown there”, there is ultimately a drawing. I don’t want to correct, never want a “draw”. The painting must be as if from a single source. Instead, the hand practises drawing. On the other hand, I don’t have any preliminary drawings. When I pick up the brush, it’s all about composing and tracking down the light.<\/em><\/p>\n
