Harry Schumacher

Harry Schumacher denounces the way man deals with nature. We place ourselves above nature, even if we are part of it. We see nature as a laboratory, with which we can do what we want, we think.

The complexity of social structures makes people rely on the ratio rather than the feeling, while a balance between the two is desirable. The ratio maintains inhibitions and self-preservation, resulting in the removal of nature. The installations are a confrontation of how we see nature, from man's point of view. By constantly being aware of the absurd human behaviour, recognizing becomes a second nature, so that the works can come about in an intuitive way. An alternative world of metaphors is the result.

In the drawing work, the arsenal of instruments is expanded. In a mixed technique developed in-house, drawings are transferred to felt.
