"It´s more difficult to leave out than to add"

"Weglassen ist schwieriger als hinzufügen"


Janos Schaab






Janos Schaab playfully combines production techniques, themes and aesthetics of Pop, Op and Street Art and continues them subtly. He reflects the choice of concise motifs and the titles of his working method: minimalistically clear, reduced to the essential popular features. His works can be found in public and private collections nationally and internationally, including Museum am Dom, Würzburg; Chanel Art Collection, New York, USA, Japan, Korea.
For the works, the painting of Janos Schaab the viewer must bring along the readiness to look correctly! Only through the process of real seeing and the play with spatial distance and proximity do the works of art, which at first appear to be simply structured, reveal their true meaning and deep expressiveness.
Janos Schaab's love for architecture, Bauhaus, photography are the key to understanding his work. The architecture of the 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 painter's passion.
The further one moves away from the picture, the more the pictorial impression mutates into that of a photograph. The closer you approach it again, the clearer the structure becomes.
