Maler

Helmut Middendorf Maler pencil, oil on paper 30 x 21 cm 1978

Thanks to dynamic, expressive brushstrokes of electrifying colour (here, especially the shades of red), Middendorf turned rock music into a visual experience. Similar dynamism and tension in the depiction of the motif, this time of the painter in front of the easel, characterises the drawing entitled Maler (translated as Painter) rendered in pencil and his favourite red. It shows an ascetic […]

no title

Simon Wachsmuth no title digital photography 49.5 x 49.5 cm framed 1990 (3)

Simon Wachsmuth is interested in the materialisation of memory: he engages in cultural (re)constructions of history and questions the relationship between material traces, museum representations, and the forms of their use in the present. He also focuses on the migration of signs and body language (speech) as an expression of culture.

Close enough

Georg Frauenschuh Close enough oil on canvas 72 × 55 cm 2023

Despite the painterly qualities in the Austrian painter’s works, usually maintained in a muted tonality with pastels and shades of grey characteristic of his style, the presence of an expressive line is usually hard to miss. At times, it becomes almost graphic and brings to mind the comic book drawing, the illustration style of early Andy Warhol or, as the critics noted, […]

Obieg

Dorota Buczkowska Obieg ink on canvas 50 x 40 cm 2005

One of the central motifs of Buczkowska’s early works is the circulation processes inherent in biological structures, but also those the artist finds in space created or transformed by humans. The linear composition entitled Obieg [Circulation], shown at the exhibition, is a good example. This work gives the impression of an architectural drawing or diagram, but it depicts the architecture of the […]

Nose Job

Adrian Buschmann Nose Job oil on canvas 130 x 90 cm 2014

As far as the latter artist and logician is concerned, Buschmann was particularly fond of his scenes depicting balls and social events through many schematically rendered figures. The painter skilfully distilled from them, among other things, a large linear figure of a dancer, captured in a sweeping movement against an empty background. The artist’s painting shown at the Wonderful Line exhibition, entitled […]

Revelation of Powers XIII (2022)

Iza Tarasewicz uses raw materials and rural production systems to create her installations. Although they are not free of vertical elements, they always develop in a horizontal order as ‘an expression of distrust of the controlling eye’ (Lisok). In them, Tarasewicz weaves technical tools and materials with organic substances, incorporating technology into a dialogue with nature. In Tarasewicz’s world, everything gives the […]
