ADALBERT GANS

BIO ADALBART GANS

Born in Austria with Venetian roots, he started wandering the world.

He’s a cosmopolitan. His frivolous restlessness makes him belong neither here or there and at the same time everywhere.  He ripped himself away from any geography or conformism and wanders the globe as a charming, posh, bum, drinking life lusciously.

Although he suffered some mild damages along the path of his life, inflicted by life itself and the peculiar path he choose to follow.

Constantly searching for… life, experiences, people, love, erotica, stimuli, miracles even…

Whatever it is that moves him, between the eagerness of discovery and the restless escapism, Gans holds an unlimited spiritualism and love for life.

Every painting, or light-object is a glimpse of the insight of men or himself in which he does not avoid the/his imperfection.  Every work he makes emerges from a roaring, burning passion of creating and existing.

His work arises during the working process. Starting with the raw material he manipulates it with pipettes, brushes and ink rollers he applies paint or epoxy, time after time removing and applying again, creating a 3-dimensional illusion. His work emerges, it is not dreamed up or imagined in advance. The light-objects or paintings are created layer by layer, leading the viewer into another experience of space. Adalbert uses light as an additional color that lifts the others to a different level.

The game between dimensions, sharp outlines, shapes and abstract organic color-use create a sense freedom and space, which leads the spectator into Adalberts’ no-mans-land giving him a sense of Adalbert Gans’ restless but intense mind and soul.
