Since the late 1980s, Wittwer has found inspiration in photographs and other
documents that record the events of the past years. Wittwer’s source material
is carefully chosen from digital representations – images of images – which he
locates in the recesses of the internet.Recurrent motifs in the artist’s oeuvre
are Old Master paintings, still lifes, interiors, and the imagery of war and
its aftermath. His dominant interest lies in the artistic momentum of levelling
and balancing out the pictorial qualities of the source material through one of
his three preferred techniques: oil painting, watercolour and inkjet
printing. Lecturer: |
