Christoph Metzger

One of the main subjects in my work is the creation of new spaces, inspired by flying abstract objects, animation and concrete architecture.

It's the connection of colours and shapes to own experiences and perspectives, reminding on concrete situations. It's about changement and transformation in space. I like to create landscapes which are only for the wink of an eye real landscapes. They could be like static still frames of a movie and change ultimately within the next seconds.

My paintings might show only a short moment without telling the whole story.
Sometimes it's almost concrete, but everything is only an illusion. If you come closer everything is tearing apart in brush strokes. There are blured lines between what‘s reel and what‘s fictional.
