A line can be the result of a movement, a gesture. The sum of all the lines in a work becomes a firework display of emotion and composition. The objects by Judith P. Fischer and the paintings by Wilhelm Drach reveal how differently, yet harmoniously, these fireworks can illuminate the space together.
Wilhelm Drach (born 1952 in Vienna, lives and works in Lower Austria, Austria) paints visions composed of colours, planes and distinctive brushstrokes, which gradually take shape as concrete images in the process of working. His painting is always the result of a carefully balanced, hard-won intuitive sensuality. The driving force in all his works is his powerful, gestural brushwork, which Drach, as the orchestrator of the creative process, allows — and indeed insists upon — having the greatest possible freedom.
Judith P. Fischer (born 1963 in Linz, lives and works in Vienna and Lower Austria, Austria) explores, shapes and interweaves elastic lines to create rhythmic structures. These spatial objects embody movement and thus convey a sense of spatial variability. Her labyrinthine interlacings range from symbolic reduction to intricately layered, amorphous installations. Movement implies time; yet Judith P. Fischer’s forms also possess a timeless quality.
