Exposition Opening DER SCHNELLE WEG (THE EFFICIENT WAY)

THE EFFICIENT WAY is not only demonstrating the formal way to arrive, it is also the arriving by knowing how to follow the artists eye-movement, to catch in one moment the forms, colours and symbols as medium of the message. Kumi Sugaï, painter and print-maker: born Kobe, Japan 13 March 1919, died Kobe 14 May 1996, was one of the greatest abstract japanese artist after world-war II. Sugai produced compositions with dynamic movement, flat colour fields eliminating traces of brushstrokes, and sign-like forms with a clear outline, rigidly geometric, repeating patterns of circles, rectangles and stripes in a unique sense of rationalism and cool sensibility. In a similar consistently straight and direct way works Anna Gerlitz-Ottitsch (http://www.gerlitz.at/), born Graz, Austria 17 October 1967, working with geometrical symbolic forms and colors, exploring rooms and spaces.
