Jörg Immendorf (Der Bergritter naht)
A frenetic clash of gestural painting, collaged imagery, and resin-sealed surfaces creates a dense, almost overwhelming visual field that pulses with raw energy and chaotic symbolism. Meese channels his signature mythological theatricality into a tribute to fellow German painter Jörg Immendorff, invoking the figure of a mountain knight as both heroic archetype and art-historical phantom. The work embodies Meese's belief in art as a totalitarian, self-governing force, absorbing its subject into a turbulent cosmos of paint, text, and material excess.
