Michael Burges
A new artwork from the series „Reverse Glass Paintings“
Michael Burges reactivates the old, traditional technique of painting behind glass, which is rarely used in contemporary art. "My interest is not in traditional painting, but in the painting processes themselves, which take place, and thus bears neither a personal signature nor a message. In my painting the matter is the actual actor. This means that I let the material perform itself through physical or chemical structural processes." The painting material is applied directly to the reverse side of the Plexiglas pane.
Through the added construction of a reverse frame via a special adhesive technique, this unique way of painting acquires an outstanding presence of a frameless, "free-floating" pane.
Michael Burges is an internationally recognized artist with exhibitions in galleries, museums and artfairs in the USA, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Studio - Visit Stefanie Minzenmay
Stefanie Minzenmay is a multiple award-winning photographic artist. In recent years she has devoted herself intensively to the subject of portraiture. Thereby, the portrait has its very own visual language with Stefanie Minzenmay. Faces remain hidden from the viewer. The genres of sculpture and portrait merge into one another and vegetable objects look like portraits. She created the series "Protected Privacy!" and "Veggies".
A visit to her studio.
