Andreas, the great communicator, fosters community without vanity. He embodies warmth and humility, symbolizing the spirit of collaboration. Surrounded by gentle, translucent lines and harmonious colors, his portrayal illustrates the balance between active and passive leadership. The light, illustrative style invites viewers to reflect on the significance of trust, intuition, and the collective journey of humanity.
As part of an installation featuring twelve three-dimensional portraits made from canvas and papier-mâché, along with the abstract piece "la Force Majeure," all finished with a glossy lacquer, this artwork resonates deeply. Each portrait aligns with C.G. Jung's concepts of Persona and Shadow, encouraging exploration of the conscious and unconscious facets of identity. In today's society, Andreas' representation emphasizes the critical importance of authenticity and the profound effects of social validation, highlighting how genuine connection fosters resilience and understanding in an increasingly complex world.
Matthias C. Eitner's working process combines digital research and planning with traditional craftsmanship. Fast-drying paints and coarse brushes demand speed, intuition, and improvisation, giving his paintings an expressive roughness and the impact of spontaneous snapshots.
