Matter, Energy and Space: Reverse Glass Paintings and Virtual Space Works by Michael Burges move into the rooms of the KWS Biotechnikum

A total of 15 works will move into the rooms of the Biotechnikum and with their colorfulness, radiate an energy that is impossible to escape.

In his "Reverse Glass Paintings", the artist Michael Burges takes up themes from previous series of works and processes them in a variety of colors, patterns and pictorial forms behind acrylic glass panels.

He throws, squeezes and squeegees the paint behind the glass, leaving formations and overlaps to chance. A complete application of paint as a background gives support to what has gone before.

The choice of color is intuitive. The artist's natural preferences determine the composition as a matter of course.

With his "Virtual Space Works", Burges overcomes the material surface of the picture and opens up new dimensions by placing his painting in a box with a diffuser pane. It cannot be seen through this pane but can only be sensed as an imaginary image. The location of the painting is no longer physically determinable, but shifts into the mind of the viewer, through which the painting is perceived.

In this way, the artist invites visitors to engage with their own perception.
