Axel Plöger – Reflections

For four decades, the artist Axel Plöger has been creating a painterly œuvre shaped by two fundamental concepts: improvisation and motivation. The artist works primarily in abstraction – with a few excursions into figurative work. Plöger describes his works as “unconditional paintings” – images without objects, free and abstract.

Axel Plöger has never been interested in creating representations of reality. What interests him are the realities that emerge in our minds – more precisely, the process that leads to their emergence. Plöger’s paintings are traces of a perceptual process that takes place between the artist and the canvas. Painting means improvisation and precision, and invites viewers to engage in an interaction with colour and form.

The exhibition presents largely new works on canvas and paper, many of which were created specifically for this exhibition, complemented by a selection of earlier key works.
