"It is as if the virtual had become tangible: in the paintings of Torben Giehler impressions of immateriality and artificiality are linked with those of painterly presence and powerfully coloured plasticity. When viewing these pictures one might spontaneously think of artificial spatial constructions such as one could find in computer games, flight simulators, or CAD animations. Giehler is clearly interested in the gaze specific to the generation of space: a gaze inherent in imaging techniques and applications such as those. He is fascinated by virtual spaces which, even from the outset, always illustrate realities that are just possibilities – imaginary worlds floating between planning, construction, and unconstrained fiction."
