Christian Schwarzwald
Christian Schwarzwalds artistic media is drawing. He uses various techniques and image sources that depict themselves in his newly formulated image language. Thereby the artist uses aspects of reproduction, the irritation through embedded faults and the illusion of three-dimensionality. The work of Schwarzwald is similar to a sign system. In his mostly capacious drawing installations the artist uses individual drawings like building stones for his own system of speech and thus claims next to the overall view the altercation of the details of each individual drawing.
