Text from the exhibition curator: In May 2014 the Gallery of Contemporary Art of the Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu presents the work of the German artist Jo Winter. Jo Winter lives and works near Stuttgart. The Sibiu exhibition of the 65 year-old artist has a retrospective character and displays paintings from the late 80s and early 90s along drawings from 1995 to the present moment. Besides his works on canvas and paper, the exhibition presents sculptures made of wood, all cut out with a chainsaw and often blackened by fire or whitewashed. Jo Winter faces up to the contemporary existential problems of man as resulted out of the recent history of Europe, intensively dealing with violence and war. His works, whether on paper or in wood intimate the suffering caused by everyday inhumanity, but he finds a poetic language that allows latitude for the personal vision of the viewer. He does not specify whether there is falling, floating or disappearing. He does not clarify who the person responsible is; he sides with the victims. POATE MAINE / VIELLEICHT MORGEN / MAYBE TOMORROW, this exhibition's title express the hope that maybe everything will be better tomorrow. That nature will be less robbed and damaged: the wall installation "Tomorrow Another Day" expresses the disappointment of the previous “sitting out” of ecological problems. That man should restrain his greed for more and more – at the expense of others, and thus diminishing violent conflicts. The installation "Big Silence" can be a place of pause and reflection.
