It Has The Untidyness of a Real Event
German-born artist Thomas Brezing, now living in Ireland, works primarily as a painter, but has also produced installations. Brezing’s themes of displacement and belonging nowhere are prevalent in his work as he confronts profound realities and in particular the history of his own country of birth. The playful and dream-like landscapes in Did Germany put the sun there? and It has the untidyness of a real event reveal, on closer scrutiny, darker and more sinister concerns. While Brezing believes that a work of art should take the responsibility of asking the ‘bigger questions’, even if that means going to uncomfortable places, he does not expect to provide the answers.
Born in Germany in 1969, Thomas Brezing currently lives in Ireland.
