In her paintings Rosa HAUSLEITHNER amalgamates spatiality and imagery, so that the pictures can no longer be decomposed into components and that no general methods of projection and construction can be applied. In this way, viewing becomes an event and increasingly replaces recognition by making the space of an object the surface of a painting. The culturally acquired practice of perception, which interprets pictures as representations and references to something that is absent, is turned against itself and the paintings are, so to speak, released.
In this way, Hausleithner brings to the fore the intrinsic values of what is painterly, which is now a layered and fragmented image area, composed of filling colourings, expanding across surfaces and refracting on edges. Linear constructions create transitions of perception, following provisional fixations of the viewers gaze, which mark moments of shifting, overlapping, proximity and distance.
Werner WÜRTINGERs works are not about an image of man and the way he deals with the relationship to his surroundings. His approach is marked by a basically different attitude, or rather shifted to another level. His works do no longer aim at universal validity, but focus on the always different experience of each individual by providing appropriate offers.
Würtinger creates spaces, which are often even walkable and thus comparable to architectural structures. His constructions are anti-utilitarian places of sensations and experiences places which allow people to experience their own state of mind, which is different in each case.
He himself also describes his works as structures for behaviour, that is places which, on their part, evoke certain experiences, sensations or types of behaviour.
