At first glance, the landscape paintings by Stefan Thiel seem like romantic testimonies to German (cultural) landscapes. It is true that the choice of colors in black and white and their blending into countless shades of gray is irritating, as it is actually assigned to black and white photography. An oppressive feeling can arise during prolonged viewing. Why? Certainly because a 'leaden' heaviness, which cannot be further defined, lies over the picture-pretty motifs. An inkling could arise and it becomes certainty, if one knows about the background of these romantically appearing stretches of land. They are poisoned soils of German history. Ominous things have taken place there.
And yet innocently unfolds our construct of beauty of nature.
