Growing up in East Germany, he wasn\u2019t exposed to much of the Western avant-garde, and though he\u2019s denied that reunification influenced his development, I think it\u2019s no coincidence that his show comes now, on the eve of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.<\/p>\n<p>His aesthetic couches the East with the West, and they make for strange bedfellows: the work is full of doom, but it\u2019s never quite nefarious. If anything, a disquieting calm obtains. \u201cMy pictures supposedly have a vital quality, like an animal, a living thing,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theartnewspaper.com\/articles\/You-wont-find-an-Untitled-among-my-works\/23592\" target=\"_blank\">Rauch told the <em>Art Newspaper<\/em><\/a> in 2011. \u201cThere is no need to understand, only to feel that this creature is, to the greatest possible degree, at peace with itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether we\u2019re at peace with it is another question. Looking at Rauch\u2019s paintings, you feel as if you\u2019ve gotten lost in the corridors of a vast, oppressive Soviet bloc building and opened the wrong door: you\u2019ve stumbled upon the neon guts, the recondite boiler room, of social realism. Everyone is hard at work\u2014but what are they working on? Again and again, his paintings find stone-faced men and women in dutiful pursuit of some arcane greater good. They plod through slanted, parti-colored worlds of clock towers and quaint rooftops, abrading the land without doing violence to it. This is labor as ritual, or ritual as labor. As a statement by the gallery says,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>His paintings are characterized by a unique combination of realism and surrealist abstraction. In many of his compositions, human figures engaged in indeterminable tasks work against backdrops of mundane architecture, industrial settings, or bizarre and often barren landscapes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rauch said <a href=\"http:\/\/standpointmag.co.uk\/drawing-board-october-09-neo-rauch\" target=\"_blank\">in a 2009 interview<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>What finally condenses on the canvas is highly subtle and in need of protection. Sometimes I am surprised by the result of my art. There is a figure, which appears again and again: it might be a revenant or a reincarnation. He finds his way on to my canvas subconsciously. Only when I look at the finished work I realize: here he is again. It is true, his is the face of a decade and that decade is the fifties.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAt the Well\u201d is up through December 20. <!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_79068\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/rauch-huter-der-nacht.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79068\" class=\"wp-image-79068\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/rauch-huter-der-nacht.jpg\" alt=\"Rauch-Huter-der-Nacht\" width=\"600\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/rauch-huter-der-nacht.jpg 3014w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/rauch-huter-der-nacht-251x300.jpg 251w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/rauch-huter-der-nacht-857x1024.jpg 857w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-79068\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Neo Rauch, <i>H\u00fcter der Nacht<\/i>, 2014, oil on canvas, 118 1\/8&#8243; x 98 1\/2&#8243;.
