Along with Tekaats installative works,
drawings form a further central group of works, although the
measurements of the paper often go well beyond the usual
formats. His largest work measures 3 xx 6 meters. Tekaat
crosshatches enigmatic objects with pencil and colored pencil
which often have a blocky and static character. These things
have form and volume, but they do not betray real measurements
or real weights. They create their own pictorial reality, lead
a life of their own, and remain enigmatic and ambivalent. They
are neither illustrations of familiar everyday occurrences,
nor are they classic sculptors’ drawings that await
transformation into third dimension. The things remain
drawings and ideas. His drawings are abstract enough to
prevent direct legibility, and concrete enough to allow the
viewer access at the illustrative level. Not the fleeting,
filigree line is at the foreground, but the painterly and
sculptural. Areas sometimes seem hermetically sealed,
sometimes lower-lying levels attain lucidity. A structure
remains constantly recognizable. The drawings change
their appearance depending on the light and the viewer’s
standpoint; the viewer is forced to move. The drawings
approach the viewer laconically and humorously, nightmarishly
and cheerfully, threateningly and playfully.
