Margit J. Füreder

Margit J. Füreder is a passionate painter, and has a seismograph behind the walls of her studio, which exactly registers the vibrations of time.

Füreder takes most of the motives out of TV images and keeps them firmly in filmic connections, which are quite moments. On this working process the artist uses conventional instruments like a camera or a computer, to edit the image. Her own perception of the captured moment determines the transformation from the photo to the picture.

Füreder's paintings possess a mix of silent aesthetics, which are consciously overlapped with contents, letters, quotations or just with pieces of early abstract paintings.

The artist very often enters the threshold of the essential conditions of human being and reaches the border between life and death, erotic and sleep, but also hope and mystic. It depends on the viewer himself on which level the paintings touch him.

The contents are transferred with a special kind of pressure technology onto the paintings, which are ultimately created upon the canvas.

Very often Füreder takes photos of the painted picture and faces them once more at the pc. Then she puts the pressed elements above the painted subject. By this way a further deliberate and unique estrangement can be achieved.

The view is isolated and changes time — stays calm and still, makes thing clear and visible, which the eye normally can’t see. Wherever the artist takes the working material, the intended metamorphosis is decisive. It's a process of crystallization — you can see, hear and feel a gesture and you dip in a fictive world, in a breeze — a step in and out of life.

“Everything is a touch in darkness, but around this gesture there is a brightness, similar with a moon-night.” —Wolfgang Hermann
