An emotional outburst of this magnitude is rare these days: Albrecht Gehse lives with all his senses, at the thresholds of passion and pain, in the world of today, of yesterday and of ancient times. Always using the four elements: earth, fire, water, air. Almost none of Gehse’s huge formats depict motives without water, without dramatic, storm-lashed, all-devouring waves. And the fish are back too – at once reference to the Old Testament and personal passion.
