/internal/media/dispatcher/28864/fullUntitled1996[Jakob Gasteiger]Jakob GasteigerAcrylic on canvas Working on a large scale is not only a challenge in terms of artistic conception but also regarding available space, as Jakob Gasteiger recalls: “In 1996 I didn’t have a studio but worked in a small apartment in an old building in Vienna. There I created this painting and four others of this size. The dimensions were calculated so the pictures could fit through the apartment door and the staircase. The first time I was able to see the finished paintings from a distance was at an exhibition in Kunstmuseum Bonn.” Since the 1980s Gasteiger has explored the medium of painting using minimalist and conceptual approaches. Rejecting specific narratives and individual gestures, he concentrates on making artistic processes visible. The use of a paint comb gives his paintings their characteristic relief-like structure.
