Unique, organic natural forms are at the heart of Paul Diestel's (*1996) work. His inspiration is nature – that which surrounds the sculptor in his homeland, that which he finds in his immediate vicinity. Beginning with the observation of pine needles, maple seeds, fossils or pupal stages of hawkmoths, he develops independent wooden sculptures, which are then coated with earth, lime and rabbit glue.
Rupert Eder (*1968) is a painter of powerfully colored oil paintings and watercolors that oscillate between minimalistic and complex forms and structures. He understands painting as a spiritual process that cannot be expressed by anything other than painting itself. He is inspired by observations of light and nature, but also creates in the studio in a limited controllable process of experimentation his color-intensive watercolors. As a result of a so-called erratic coincidence he comes to new and enigmatic image ideas that captivate the viewer.
