Anzinger

Meer over het boek

Siegfried Anzinger has made a radical departure with his new oil paintings and sculptures, breaking away from his trademark impasto technique and unique figurative representation. This shift creates an effect akin to a brilliant light suddenly illuminating the canvas. Anzinger now applies background tones quickly and in diluted form, transforming details, like an upward looping motion, into an epic composition with clearly defined layers. Previously, his figures and scenes were presented in a confined space reminiscent of a chamber drama. With his new approach, Anzinger has opened the curtains wide, providing a grand stage for his work. The competition among images drawn from diverse cultural influences—rock, pop, comic, Renaissance, and westerns—adds to the richness of the narrative. This targeted dramaturgy unfolds a painterly panorama that evokes the epic dreams inspired by the works of David, Delacroix, and Gerricault. Anzinger's innovative style not only captivates but also invites viewers to explore the interplay of cultural techniques and the dramatic essence of his art.
