Constantin Luser
(Austria, born in 1976, live in Wien)




Buenos dias Santago, installation en cours, 2005


Constantin Luser makes drawings on different kinds of surface (paper, walls, ceilings, floors). His compositions are like a visualisation of the multiple forms of thought that can simultanesoudly inhabit a human soul. One can discern utopic architectures, faces, references to current events, schemes and notes for ongoing projects, or lists of things to do. He likes playing with the readability of his strokes, which are alternately fine, double or combined with elements fixed against the walls, in order to draw the spectator's attention to the multiplicity of the images froming his universe. Sometimes, his in situ interventions are also combined with sculptures.
