GABRIEL HINTENAUS: ICH KANN NICHT ANDERS
Oil on canvas
100 × 70
2026
"Ich kann nicht anders" ("I cant help it") is about a very passionate phase of my life, driven by a search for connection while feeling out of place. The figure and the industrial bakcgorund express the emotional contrast and the pains I undertook to to find belonging while feeling unanchored in a world I didnt understand.
Through an intense color palette oranges and deep violets the idea of a freneitc even desperate search for connection is expressed. The work tries to capture a restless, phase of life where the search for intimacy becomes a desperate remedy for displacement, to find a sense of belonging in a foreign place.
