The origin of the works of Eberhard Ross (*1959) is the search for the structures, the rhythms and the patterns that natural growth produces. In his abstract paintings he encounters the filtrate of these observations. Ross distills the initial elements of natural growth and develops an "organic geometry," so to speak, and thus succeeds in creating powerful yet quiet pictorial spaces.
Joseph Stephan Wurmer (*1956) explores the essence of the tree in the material wood, in its substance and structure, form work and resistance, as well as vulnerability and color. He is interested in the interplay of conflicting forces, the interplay of controlled design and free growth, of determination and randomness.
