Werner Feiersinger
Galerie Martin Janda is showing new sculptures and photographs by Werner Feiersinger between 20 January and 27 February 2016.
A black frame structure, 5 metres in length and 2.34 metres in height, stands on the gallery鈥檚 ground floor, dividing the exhibition space. The large-scale grid allows us to look through it and at the same time changes our playground, imposing a new movement pattern upon us. Feiersinger crafts all of his objects himself. The reduced surface treatment acts against the meticulousness he applies otherwise. The steel sculptures are coated with primers 鈥� the final coat is missing, the material fades into the background.
Employing an architectural scale, Feiersinger puts his object 鈥� like a bracket 鈥� in relation to a number of sculptures and in dialogue with his photographs, amongst others with a photo work depicting a holiday home in the late 1960s in Fregene. The many glass surfaces 鈥� edged by red metal frames, contrasting the exposed concrete 鈥� give the house its character. Feiersinger is fascinated both by the rawness and the delicacy of the building; the structure echoes in his sculpture. 鈥淥ften, the forms just find me, I see something and take it with me. At some point it becomes important and can resurface as a fragment or part of an object.鈥�
