Work

The works of Armin Baumgarten arise beyond the antagonism between the figurative and the abstract, i.e. this picture is not borrowed from the optical reality, but establishes itself within a picturesque charging process on the scene as a separate image reality. From the painting originally thin liquid Armin Baumgarten came to a very tactile, impasto ductus gain by the motifs a physical presence. This development process resulted since 2003 in the study of sculpture that is created first in a lengthy process of work up and ablation of gypsum and is then implemented as a bronze casting. The paintings and sculptures revolve archaic basic, essential topics such as the head, figure and figure group, countryside and mountain or tree. This image is compressed in the work process in a reduced to the essential iconic shape that is possible directly sensual and physically not only visible to the viewer, but also experienced.
