Beschreibung
Anton Markus Pasing's work is initially only superficially accessible. It is only through intensive engagement with his work it emerges what really preoccupies this artist. His works are mostly narratively charged and speculative, dealing with personal themes as well as complex social and theoretical issues. Science, society and philosophy inspire his hybrid spatial inventions and concepts. In his works, Pasing only apparently offers answers, but in reality it is rather questions that he raises. Questions about major world contexts as well as the incidental events of everyday life and its inconspicuous rituals. His very individual visual language is difficult to describe, on the one hand it uses digital techniques and integrates traditional techniques of collage or photorealistic painting, on the other hand his pictures sometimes seem as if the pen has been subjected to a new reality. He combines digital drawing with motifs from Romanticism and the Renaissance. The canon of themes and motifs in his pictures combines landscape and object, preferably in allegories of loneliness, love, emotion or death.Melancholy and hypertechnical fantasy combine to create surreal and sometimes paradoxical scenarios. In some of his pictures, absoluteness and forlornness are juxtaposed without the viewer realising it, and certainly not in a painting. But perhaps it is precisely this uncertainty in which he leaves the viewer, in a more lasting way than speculations about architecture, art and the world often do.
