Nicht weniger als eine Neubewertung der Moderne versucht Heribert C. Ottersbach (geb. 1960 in Köln) in seiner künstlerischen Arbeit. Aus vorgefundenen Materialien und eigenenzeichnerischen Entwürfen entwickelt der Maler seine Bildideen darunter auch ein Vielzahl von architektonischen Sujets, für ihn »abstrakte, geometrischeFigurationen einer durch die Erziehung disziplinierten Gesellschaft«.Heribert C. Ottersbach (born 1960 in Cologne) attempts nothing less in his artistic work than a reevaluation of modernity. Using found materials and his own drawings, the painter develops his visual ideas, many of which include architectural subjects, which for him are abstract, geometric figurations of asociety disciplined by education. Ottersbach s depictions of architecture sometimes have ironic, sarcastic titles, such as The Rediscovery of the Bauhaus Prompted by the Spirit of the Postmodern Arbor (2002) or The New School of Athens (2002). Clearlyreferring to his fundamentally critical attitude toward modernity and its manifestations, the artist s distanced, scrutinizing visual language plumbs the depths of its utopian content and its loss of meaning. Heribert C. Ottersbach: recipient of the 2007 Wilhelm Lothprize. In an age that is obsessed with blanketing events, both past and present, with images anage that is literally able to hold reality at bay through pictures the painter Heribert Ottersbach takes responsibility for the image. (Thomas Wagner in hislaudatory speech on the occasion of the presentation of the 2007 Wilhelm Loth Prize to Heribert C. Ottersbach)
