von Anton Markus Pasing. Ausgabe in englischer Sprache. 2 Bände im Schuber.
Anton Markus Pasing's work is initially only superficially accessible.
It is only through intensive engagement with his work it emerges
what really preoccupies this artist. His works are mostly
narratively charged and speculative, dealing with personal themes
as well as complex social and theoretical issues. Science, society
and philosophy inspire his hybrid spatial inventions and concepts.
In his works, Pasing only apparently offers answers, but in reality
it is rather questions that he raises. Questions about major world
contexts as well as the incidental events of everyday life and its inconspicuous
rituals. His very individual visual language is difficult
to describe, on the one hand it uses digital techniques and integrates
traditional techniques of collage or photorealistic painting, on
the other hand his pictures sometimes seem as if the pen has been
subjected to a new reality.
He combines digital drawing with motifs from Romanticism and
the Renaissance. The canon of themes and motifs in his pictures
combines landscape and object, preferably in allegories of loneliness,
love, emotion or death. Melancholy and hypertechnical fantasy
combine to create surreal and sometimes paradoxical
scenarios.
In some of his pictures, absoluteness and forlornness are juxtaposed
without the viewer realising it, and certainly not in a painting.
But perhaps it is precisely this uncertainty in which he leaves the
viewer, in a more lasting way than speculations about architecture,
art and the world often do.
