Florian Arnold

the process of my work on paper and glass doesn't resemble a straight line connecting two points. rather, it is like a dream, driven by music and fragments of remembrances. unessential details shift things in unexpected directions.
i feel a strong connection to the masterminds of surrealism and in that respect, my works have the potential of changing at any time.

"arnold is a profound drawing artist, rising his ideas from the fin-de-siecle-pool that raised and nourished artists like ernst fuchs or walter schmoegner, he plays with the ideas of anamorphic mirrors like grandville did, but he never fails to point out a very special humorous, even satiric point of view"
