Press Release

In his current exhibition COME OR FLAGE 9975-17090-42829, Austrian artist Christian Eisenberger unfolds a narrative about being human, the conquest of space and the fragile relationship between nature and civilisation. In an interplay of painting, sculpture and conceptual practice, he creates works that oscillate between organic chance and social reflection.

At the centre of the exhibition are the so-called lacquer paintings, which were subjected to an organic process of creation over a period of 18 months. The artist repeatedly poured leftover paint from previous projects over the canvases lying on the floor, causing paint sediments to collect in the centre. The works are reminiscent of primordial mud, the primordial soup and the beginning of something living that forms by chance. They are abstract formations that carry the moment of becoming within them. These works enter into a dialog with Eisenberger’s outdoor projects. The swamps, expanses of water and forests of the artist’s rural surroundings become a source of inspiration and the work in enclosed spaces and in nature become a reciprocal mirror.
