Georg Fuchssteiner

Germany, 1982

JAHN UND JAHN

The German painter and draftsman Georg Fuchssteiner studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich (AdBK) and creates blurring pictorial structures that reconcile elements from painting and drawing. Especially in his watercolours, Fuchssteiner uses colour shades that seem to whisper, and his forms and textures oscillate between appearance and disappearance. Fuchssteiner succeeds in shaping artistic equivalents of silent and speechless entities, generating a specific aesthetical being with its own intimate nature and original simplicity. With delicate force, the artist creates a finely differentiated chromatic variety that is highly contemplative and sensual. The organizing principles of natural manifestations and of the human existence are reflected in Fuchssteiner`s works. However, the artist does not seem particularly interested in depicting the world, rather evoking the viewer’s inner capacity to detach from the real and shift the gaze towards the possible.
