Leander
Schwazer

Leander Schwazer intende la pittura in senso neo-concettuale, come un Black Box. «30 most Famous People of All Time», «Bikini» o «The Alphabet I got dry with» sono alcuni titoli di mostre che l’artista ha realizzato negli ultimi tempi. Ciascun titolo si riferisce alla logica nascosta che Leander Schwazer cerca di scoprire nei materiali di uso quotidiano. I suoi lavori ci trasmettono qualcosa che sta prima e forse anche dopo dell’uomo.
