Markus Boltz
Abstract mysticism
Markus Boltz
Born in 1970 in Bochum, now lives and works in Dinslaken.
The theme of his art is determined by mystical, fantastic figures, creatures and grimaces. Above all, the "encounter" is supposed to be the focus of the works. But communication or the lack of cooperation between people is also depicted. The works often radiate a certain indifference or arrogance, which also contains a kind of dynamism and aggressiveness.
A seemingly uncontrollable scenario emerges, but one that is deliberately chosen by the artist to symbolize a reflection of our society.
Although his art is oriented towards abstraction, the expressive and emotional elements of his figures and creatures are the focus of his work. The intense colors also appear dominant in his works. This makes the paintings and sculptures appear wild and passionate. Consequently, the viewer of his art is confronted with an exciting mixture of socio-political concerns, satirical elements and an extremely expressive form of design.
