In the exhibition "Gründerzeit", Georg Frauenschuh presents a series of new works that explore the terminological and pictorial boundaries of abstraction and figuration. In the constantly dynamic encounter of images, the Vienna-based artist explores seemingly opposing concepts of pictorial space. The struggle, tussle and competition between different motifs, patterns and gestures is a central aspect of Frauenschuh's exploration of painterly representation. - Niklas Koschel
