Artberg’s
periods of work in primaeval forests and on uninhabited
islands in the South Pacific in recent years have
effected an interesting change in his new works. After
the dense pictures from New Zealand and France, with
their intensity of colour, his works now have a highly
graphic orientation. A reduction to meditative inherent
symbolism now predominates. Artberg knows how to combine
skilfully elements from old cultures such as the
Egyption, Incan, Mayan and from Polynesian cultures such
as that of the Aborigines in Australia, with shapes from
today‘s Western civilization. |
