When Peter Schlör invokes in his high-contrast black-and-white digital photographs the Flemish masters of depicting light, for example Salomon van Ruisdael, there are two reasons for this: for one, Schlör's photographs are oriented on a rough grid governing the distribution of light and shadow. And for another, they are conceived from the outset as abstract structures whose figural elements are only gradually revealed. Out of his patient observation of the play of reflections of sun and clouds, the artist creates light-filled landscapes in which mountains, trees, fields and houses come into view. 0Exhibtion: Landesgalerie Linz, Austria (27.11.2013-1.2.2014) / Galerie Peter Zimmermann, Mannheim, Germany (2014) / Nusser & Baumgart, Munich, Germany (2014) / Arte Giani, Frankfurt a.
