Hans-Jörg LOHN is on his way out of the dead ends of surreal traditions and their derivatives in Austria, bypassing their stylistic specifics in favour of an independent sign language, which feeds on the delight in (re)interpreting (found) objects. Games and jokes, secret languages and social criticism, searching for an identity and questioning values always seem to go hand in hand. Sometimes even his name becomes a part of the Lohnsian metamorphoses of meaning: drawings turn into pay slips; the payable fee becomes a simple wage.
Gerd MENIASs pieces of turf show a world in miniature, a part of the whole, a microcosm that can also stand on its own. Different types of grasses, wilting leaves, blossoms, but also subaqueous weeds, almost levitating, which sway in the rhythm of the water.
In this context one has to mention the Pieces of Turf by Albrecht Dürer and the large-size woodcuts by Franz Gertsch. Whereas Menia lays out the drawings of these plant worlds naturalistically, the alienation is created later on in ones head. In this sense they could be called, inter alia, psychedelic
