Art history, theatre, church - places filled with drama and pathos are the backbone of Lars Unkenholz's work. With seemingly rapid brushstrokes, he sketches the stories of good and evil, using the sometimes subtle, sometimes clear art-historical references to probe the prevailing heteronormative order. The figurative constellations are sometimes reminiscent of 17th century Dutch interior scenes. References to Flemish landscapes can also be found in Lars Unkenholz's works. The artist transfers these art-historical borrowings into his own context and places himself and the reality of his life as a queer artist centre stage.
