Bitzer’s work is characterised by the resolution of the figurative in ornamental geometries, the overlapping of divergent images, and the use of abstract forms. Often using various media to create abstract paintings, drawings and sculptures, the themes of history and identity are central to his work, with the lives of historical figures being the main inspiration for reflection.
