Stefan Hirsig's paintings and drawings show surfaces with structures of coloured fields, geometric
shapes and stripes, as well as organic forms. These elements combined lead to a complexity of compo-
psition in which separate elements crystalize out of abstract forms to uncover a plethora of associations
with the ambiguity of geometric, articulated stripes and selected colour concepts.
Occasionally direct quotes are picked from formal architecture and design language and are being trans-
ferred into a new context.
With regard to composition, Hirsig uses a specific system: an outer frame encloses the inner structure.
Elements might "break through" an open space of this frame and complete the design of another painting.
This might extend a series or provide a transition from one work to another. Visual access is therefore not
only possible through architecture and design-links, but also through cross-references of the artist's ori-
ginal formal language. The work produces an own dynamic by means of covering and uncovering, dis-
solving and fusion, direct and indirect quotes.
