ROBERT LANZ
About me
The work of Robert Lanz draws from a wide range of painting materials and mixing ratios of the raw materials. The works arise from the everyday flow of information, the experiences and the ideas and memories that Robert Lanz implements directly and at the same time experimentally. Like a link to the place, the space that only exists within oneself through imagination.
His way of working is part of an ongoing experiment that emerges in the course of the production of continuous trials and continues the artist's long-term investigations. Robert Lanz also works in series, sometimes comprising several hundred works on paper. The serial character is reinforced by the dynamic painting style and the motifs. However, the coloring is always different, whereby materiality and technology, the time factor, each develop their very own expression according to their characteristics. The large-format pictures by Robert Lanz, on the other hand, are not created in series, they are individual works.
In addition to the physical and chemical processes, a material-related aesthetic develops. The process allows a view of the macrocosm in the work through the use of microscopically small particles. During the creation process, the entire color spectrum is revealed by the variation in the metal content.
At the heart of the multimedia practice, the substances are to be understood as being in constant interpenetration, interpenetrated like a spirit and part of a network of exchange of matter, technologies, raw materials and the light itself.
Robert Lanz lives and works in Berlin.
