Anselm Kiefer: Seal My Ears Shut and I Shall Hear You Still presents new paintings exploring feminine archetypes and landscape as symbolic form, drawing on Rilke, Caspar David Friedrich, and classical mythology. Executed in oil, acrylic, shellac, gold leaf, and verdigris sediment of electrolysis — a material produced by electrical current through copper and salts — the heavily textured surfaces embody the luminosity and transformation found in nature. Nymphs, mythological metamorphoses, and the goddess Tyche emerge from dense landscapes, while a painter's palette suspended over bare winter limbs invokes art's potential to hold both natural reality and artistic truth simultaneously.
