Nikolaus Kloss

New Abstraction


Nikolaus Kloss, born 1955 in Vienna, Austria, lives and works as artist in his home town. The artwork of Nikolaus Kloss stands apart by its electicism. The different techniques all prove curiosity and the joy of experimentation. Borders are easily transgressed more than dissolved, the levels mingle partially. The used materials or techniques are taken for what they are, for Kloss a mean to scrutinize the ground on which he is situated in the present moment. Not more, not less. After different stages related to the time situation in his pictorial creation, Kloss is convinced that a new abstraction is emerging, in his work anyway, but also in the general perception of contemporary art.

Benoit Adam

Young Belgian Artist - Abstract Expressionism


Benoit Adam is born and works in Brussels. He has a non conventional artistic education. About the technique: In the first phase of the creative act, the painting media is laid down semi-automatically, without aesthetic intent. In a way, unconsciousness expresses itself. This act can be related to action painting and abstract expressionism. Inspiration then comes when looking at the abstract figure. Usually human representations emerge faces and bodies. By adding media he tries to confirm his vision, but accidents and other images appearing suggest new directions. A kind of dialog is set up between the painting and the painter that finally reaches equilibrium when the work is over. Emotions prevail over concepts.
