the painter and sculpteur Georg Brandner was born in 1956 in leoben in upper styria and from here he developed an international career, his Works are to befound in prestigious galleries in europe and usa. Georg Brandner sees his basic f task as presenting us and the forces that determine our world, which we control which control and which control us, on the painted surface in the sense of automatistic methods. His abbreviated statements allow him to transmit the essential basic forces of things directly to the observer, who himself enters the field of tension of the dual interplay of forces that is revealed to us in the expressive bars of colour, agglutinations and concentrations as system and chaos, as ecstasy and quiet, as form and lack of form. Brandner never holds back his forces, be always rediates energy, he always hits the coreof creation. His painting gesturesdecode the material precisely. Hisalphabet of colour is concentrated onthe radiant primary colours red, blueand yellow, accompanied by black and white accentsas contrasts. Theintersection, spanning, overlappingwedging of the bars of colour, theoverlay of layers of paint that againand again are torn Apart, thetransparency of the combined topresent to the observer theconstellation of forces behind themoving surface structure, the pushingand shoving of shapes in anillusionary spatial order. A particularvalue is given to the condensed Andtranslucent inclusions of white. Their effect is to balance and even annul the forces, and they are to Brandner'siconography an end-of-the-worldprediction of a, permanent balance inthe visionary harmonies beyond the world known to us. However, untilthen we remain witnesses: of Brandner's urges of power, includeourselves in the towering, the bending,the bursting, the breaking, theseparatng, the joining...until theapocalyptic finale.
