Christian August's new landscape paintings are vibrant and effervescent. While his earlier pictorial compositions seem almost weightless, without top and bottom, time and space, thus evoking associations of an idealised idea of the universe, August is now back on earth in his latest colour landscapes. More precisely, they exist in a mysterious in-between world: new ecosystems emerge on the canvases between sky and earth, darkness and light, spring and winter, day and night.

August masterfully balances the portrayal of untouched nature, making it appear mystical and enchanting, yet nothing within it is concretely surreal or otherworldly. The origin of these ethereal color landscapes remains hidden. In their own human-free cosmos, they speak of the magic and beauty in scenery.

Almost like a white noise, the diffuse noise of colors lies underneath and next to the monochrome surfaces, which sometimes act like a resting antipole to the complex background noise.

Just as his works are created in rapid physical motion, they also remain in motion for the viewer: his worlds of color glow and bubble, diffusely, organically, and alternately loud and quiet, rough and smooth on the surface of the picture.
