Detailed description
Picture "Three bridges" (2022)
The paintings "Three Bridges", "To the Palace", "Shoals" and "The Temple" are a series of fantasy landscapes that represent a symbiosis of childhood memories from landscapes of Central Asia and Europe. The architectural elements of bridges, ruins and buildings are also a combination from these different cultures. In the painting "Three Bridges", the bridges symbolize overcoming adversity on the paths one walks.
About Viktor Lau
I am more indebted to the surrealists. Like them, I also use sleep for my pictorial inventions.
This creates quite mysterious and absurd scenes on the canvas.
In addition to the surrealist side is the naturalistic landscape painting and socially critical aspects such as the environment and human existence issues a theme. Reflecting on world events and asking questions is more important than striking messages.
In my sculptures, the careful search is also crucial. The source material, stone or wood determine with, what should arise, the hidden in it make visible. Listen and correspond to what wants to emerge.
