Janos Schaab playfully combines production techniques, themes and aesthetics of pop, op and street art and subtly takes them further. His choice of concise motifs and titles reflects his working method: minimalistically clear, reduced to the essential popular features. His works can be found in public and private collections both nationally and internationally, including the Museum am Dom, Würzburg; Chanel Art Collection, New York, USA, Japan, Korea 


For the works and paintings of Janos Schaab, the viewer must be prepared to look properly!!! Only through the process of really seeing and playing with spatial distance and proximity do the works of art, which at first appear to be simply structured, reveal their true meaning and profound expressiveness.


Janos Schaab's love of architecture, the Bauhaus and photography are the key to understanding his work. The architecture of inner-pictorial vision leads via painting to a picture that looks like a photograph. And back again. A cycle that also correlates in the picture, in the process of seeing and not least with the passion of the painter. The further you move away from the picture, the more the pictorial impression mutates into that of a photograph. The closer you get to it again, the clearer the structure becomes.
