Lohlé is now inter alia one of the leaders of the “automatic collective painting” movement of Amsterdam, which was officially born in 1997 after the last Phases Symposium at the MAC (Museum of Contemporary Art of São Paulo) in Brazil. By the spontaneity and the experimental nature of its approach, some critics have compared this new movement very much with the famous Cobra movement. Lohlé also took part in “Relationship is not hereditary”, contemporary surrealism in the Czech Republic 2001-03, and “Homage to Freud” in Prague 2004.
“If I experience again today in front of some of Lohlé’s canvases, like ‘Dialogue of a ghost’ or ‘Explosive phenomenon’, impressions as intense (intense, and not just ‘pleasant’) as those which I felt in 1946 when chez Atlan I saw some of Jorn’s work for the first time, it is surely not because he treats painting with the same level of violence or because he uses colour with the same degree of almost unbearable stridency. No, it is because in both cases one is at the very centre of the picture’s mystery, inside the truth of its incandescent magma.” Edouard Jaguer, French art critic and poet, May 2000.
