The special feature of Cornelius VOElker are the everyday things of life,
which he brings to the canvas with often thick paint.

The banality of motives such as handbags, hands, sandwiches, chocolate bars, ribbed underwear, teabags, a Zippo lighter, dogs but also swimmers in a variety of poses, deliberately set against a virtuoso painting. Contents and form correspond to each other, the thick application of the oil color symbolizes this movement by blurring, streaking and color gradients. Cornelius Völker transposes colors into various states, often parallel to what is depicted.
