“Urban spaces and fragments of our everyday world become the source of Lenke’s painterly imagery. Photographic notations in a minimalist manner serve him as studies of his perception and memory, which are immediately borne by the phenomenon of the fleeting and transient. In his painterly works, Lenke abandons traditional notions of homogeneous, three-dimensional space, creating polyphonic interior spaces and discontinuities.” Katharina Arlt
