7:45 pm
and culture when mayo 1st came on the scene museums were reluctant to buy the artist's works large figurative paintings were out of style especially by artists from the former east germany well now i'll spend things are so valuable most museums can't afford this week the artist unveiled a new body of work and our reporter melissa hall right was there. this is the results anyway it's all just paint it's just paint that's something we all have to agree on the. paint worth millions the exhibition 100 or handrail on show in the house hometown of like boasts 16 new works by the master painter and nick matic pieces that speak to the viewer's unconscious but it also says that for him the characters he creates are much more than just figments of the
7:46 pm
imagination. seem to be silly and they are very real for me because my creations really do stalk me and then i. paintings are very open to interpretation and their inner workings are not something he usually likes to talk about until now that is i'm going to mine. fall you could say that were this woman who is in the foreground of the picture finds herself in a situation where there's petrol and so what does she carry at home plate it's a fungus and a hole so how can she carry this flammable material when all she has is this space is a vase it's a hunch so she decides to use that as a canister. in the end that is the job of art to take all the bad all the evil and all that is uncomfortable and disgusting and to cultivate it as if you think a. name a. commentary gives the works
7:47 pm
a new life. paintings are influenced by socialist realism style prevalent in the east germany of comics few but they're not one sided. this painting is called hand laugh or handrail in english here we have a scintilla together with a woman who has 2 faces or 2 heads and 3 legs he's holding a hand it looks like they could be dead soon or he could be taking her somewhere near the rocks paintings and all good all evil there's always opposites in them and so what we have is quite a positive situation there's new sick being played over here and a man with a guitar but with a hit it looks like it's quite dark and for that they can a need to handrail. a lot of leo's house on life and contradictions are reflected through his work there's a stark difference between his work reflective and not about money or fame and the
7:48 pm
huge success he's received. at 60 votes already looking ahead. is from one of i'm working till 65 then i'm going to retire and get my monthly 365 euro pension so that's one goal of the one see you then i'm going to go on a cruise to venice. beach. hotel then still has a bit more time on his hands to get some painting him. as a whole right just got back from that exhibition of welcome melissa that was a joke right thing about the pension isn't he one of the wealthiest men in germany yeah he's one of the 1000 wealthiest men in germany that's largely due to his popularity in the united states where his works sell for millions and that is before even my word yeah but that doesn't mean he's not without his critics not
7:49 pm
everybody loves me o'reilly. he's accused of milking east german seems he is also accused of too much symbolism in his work and the lack of real content is no where dreams are all about the sort of lots of symbolism little real content. yeah that is what dreams are about and the characters in his paintings are very dreamlike it's almost like this sleepwalking they seem like they're quite lonely characters who are unaffected by what's going on around them whether that be good or evil they're also often in different historical costumes from different periods and this takes away any idea that there is a chronological order to the painting so it's like they're all trapped in a type of time warp ok so you've got this sort of weird mixture between history and mystery for me part of the mystery around nero has always been his name miro new how is the german word for smoke is that even his real name is his real name i
7:50 pm
didn't think it was his real name but yeah apparently he says he doesn't like it he considers himself to be quite a conservative person he starts work at 9 o'clock in the morning and finishes at 6 o'clock in the evening he has lunch every day with his wife he's has a very structured life but it was the main that his parents gave him and they died tragically when he was just 6 weeks old and that's something that also features a lot in his paintings and sense of foreboding connected to his biography melissa thanks so much for checking out the exhibition for us and thanks for coming in the studio. now german pianist mr advani was a child prodigy and is now in his forty's and still enormously successful as near jazz solo album more than kent or moonchild is 46 minutes 38 seconds long and that is not an accident it's the exact length of an astronaut's solo orbit around the moon in 1969 here's a taste. no
7:51 pm
'd it's not about the moon it's about loneliness be on the moon on the new album or any. live music is inspired in part by u.s. astronaut michael collins who orbited the moon on his own in 1900. 2 more famous members of his mission walk to the surface with each orbit cullen's lost contact with the earth for 46 minutes isolation a fitting theme for 2021 civility the coronavirus situation happened by chance just as we'd started recording it was mid april at all i drove into berlin alone and the
7:52 pm
city was completely empty and from sitting at the piano in the big studio i suddenly felt i was in a capsule sending signals to the outside but i was all by myself once and not all snow is of i miss johns passage. ready ready ready ready ready coffee cups placed on the strings had an unexpected magic. the album's title mooned and kinde moonchild comes from the fantasy novel the never ending story. so there's a part of the novel that's very important and moving for me around the middle of the book when the protagonist suddenly has to rename his inner world annoyed and he has to give it a new name so his story can continue writing in kind i think that's a process that musicians and improvisers often experience and for you have to
7:53 pm
examine your inner soundscape and your ideas and give them new names on most of them the name of moon didn't get into new child sums that idea up for me it also draws a nice connection to the lonely astronaut michael collins who orbits the moon and with each orbit is reborn and want cost and. not a good one much for you to morbid. jass from the dark side of the moon for late night. since the corona virus pandemic started we've all become more aware of the air around us and the particles in it artist. has a new show with a computer program that creates sounds based on the dust that's in the air just the latest of his many trailblazing works. flying without fossil fuel is
7:54 pm
this possible and how can the art help to reach this goal. flaxseed not been thinking about the idea of flying cities for a long time is it that our planet orbits the sun we humanity and all planetary species are travelling at a speed of 76000 miles an hour the idea of flying cities is really that utopian from a cosmic perspective but if i tell an astronaut about it he'd say but we're already flying. virgin tinian performance and installation artist thomas sarah say no 6 to answer the most pressing questions of our time how can you mankind live in harmony with nature use the earth's resources more efficiently and develop greener mobility solution sarah say no has always been fascinated by the interplay between art and science in 2011 he showcased his cloud cities project at a museum in berlin this project like so many others question the way we live as
