STEFAN HIRSIG'S PAINTINGS AND ...

Stefan Hirsig's paintings and drawings are surfaced with a structure of coloured fields, geometric stripes, as well as organic forms. These elements being brought together lead to a complexity of these compositions. Out of the abstract forms separate elements are crystalised, which uncover myriad associations with the ambiguity of geometric, articulated stripes and elected colour conceptions. Occasionally direct quotes are picked from formal architecture and design language and are being transferred into a new context.

Regarding the composition Hirsig uses a specific system: an outer frame encloses the inner structure. Occasionally some elements "break through" an open space of this frame and complete a form of another painting. This could be seen as a serial prolongation and transition from one work to another. The recognition is therefore not only possible through architecture and design-links, but also through reference on the own created formal language.

The work produces an own dynamic by means of covering and uncovering, dissolving and fusion, direct and indirect quotes.
