"Finding the balance between minimalist reduction and blinding illusionism..."
Schittny’s elegant wall object series “Tubes” combines ideas of Avant-Garde geometric abstract art, post-war modernism and Op-Art. The special appeal of these pieces lies in their absence of representational content. The “Tubes” have a rational-geometric structure but are equally sensual and overwhelming in their brilliance which changes and shimmers depending on the angle of view and the incidence of light. These new works by Burkhard Schittny perfectly balance between minimalist reduction and blinding illusionism.
