Metamodern Grotesk: Grotesque crucifix 009 Artwork

Artist statement  In the art community and his works, Alfred Stoll is interested in topics such as: •  The influence of digital approaches and techniques on contemporary art and on the artist •  Determining the artistic value and importance of digital art today •  Defining the artist's role in the creation of digital art in the future •  Metamodernism in art  Alfred Stoll's global goals: •  Popularisation of digital art and its possibilities among the public and the art community •  The development of a new art style Metamodern Grotesk and a Metamodern art movement In his works, Alfred Stoll doesn’t use the digital environment as analog instruments, such as a brush and a canvas. The process of creation lies in a combination of techniques: Invert colors, double exposure, distortion, multiple overlay, stylization, motion, video collage, Augmented reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR), 3D modelling, AI / generative art as well as digital drawing and painting, which differs greatly to the usual artistic techniques, not having basic methodology of use and implementation, they require a different approach and often resemble an alchemical experiment. His digital laboratory fits into his smartphone and laptop, always with him, easy to use and doesn't require anything from him besides his interest in digital experimentation. The main art movement Alfred Stoll creates in is Metamodernism / Metamodern art.  The idea of new sincerity, tenderness, sensuality, artistic freedom and post irony doesn't only resonate with him but gives him inspiration. His artworks are a condensation of his personal experience and a compilation of the global stream of information reimagining of meta-narratives due to mental oscillation between two chosen polarities, as well as the search of his own and social boundaries.
