Christian D. Stefanovici, 3 Tauben (an schwäbischer Straße)

Stefanovici sees the isms of art history as languages that he translates into contemporary painting. An ism is invariably the manifestation of a particular cultural attitude and Stefanovici’s painting brings these isms together syncretistically to form a contemporary, pluralistic worldview. Which means that elements of symbolism or magic realism can be detected in his œuvre, together with – depending on the socialisation of the viewer – aspects of cinema or of digitality, such as cursors or beamer menus.
