Die Bewohner: Inhabitants

Published by Hatje Cantz

Modernist urban architecture, cultivated landscapes and large expanses of sky are the principle elements in Berlin- and New York-based Tim Eitel’s paintings. Individual figures or groups in which each member is nonetheless isolated populate these backgrounds. “Öffnung” (2006), for example, shows a huddle of schoolboys in uniform lounging in a nondescript Modernist interior, physically close but not interacting. Eitel, who studied at the venerable Art Academy of Leipzig in the early 1990s, has become one of the most successful painters of the New Leipzig School. Carrying a camera wherever he goes, Eitel takes snapshots and paints from them. In the past few years, his time in Los Angeles and New York has greatly influenced the architectural elements of his work. This volume is published in conjunction with exhibitions at ARKEN Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen, Berlin’s Galerie EIGEN+ART and Kunsthalle Tübingen.

Tim Eitel: A Stage

Interview by Christoph Peters.

The young Leipzig School painter Tim Eitel is best known for his depictions of people contemplating artworks in public spaces. Of his new work, Eitel says, "I wanted to focus more directly on life and my surroundings, not just on the microcosm of the art context. I wanted to let more of the outside world into my paintings, and more atmosphere, too." Thus, people and spaces seem to submerge into a disquieting twilight; a peacefully reclining figure becomes a fragile symbol; and a couple rows a paddleboat out into nothingness. Eitel continues, "It's not possible for me to keep it all separate: the conscious and unconscious memories of every image I've seen in my life. Paintings from art history, but also photographs and snippets from film and TV. That's what our world view is made up of." Eitel captures everyday gestures and situations, then uses them to investigate the relationship between man, nature and public space in his paintings.

Tim Eitel: Terrain

Essays by Martin Schick and Markus Stegmann.
Published by Holzwarth Publications

Born in 1971, painter Tim Eitel is one of the leading representatives of the Leipzig school, and belongs to a group of young German artists currently giving impetus to the return of painting to contemporary art. Eitel creates sharply observed, figurative, and non-judgemental images of his generation and their social and cultural interaction. His painterly oeuvre is reminiscent of photographic and film images of the 1990s. Accompanies the exhibition at the Museum zu Allerheiligen/ Kunstverein Schaffhausen and features the majority of Eitel's paintings to date.
