Artist Statement:
Sterzenbach is a painter who
creates self-willed dream
figures (men, animals,
sculptures, rock formations,
etc.). Strange and bewitched
creatures come into existence,
which defy description. Theese
magical, surrealistic images
have a suggestive effect on
the spectator. Sterzenbach
about his practice: "I don´t
know theese creatures, before
I see them appearing on paper
or canvas. I am often
surprised about my own
creations. By different
techniques like frottage,
decalcomany, imprimitation
etc. structures come into
existence, which Sterzenbach
assembles into fantasy
figures, without having an
exact imagination of what is
emerging. Little faces and
forms, which Sterzenbach
inserts finally in the coarse
structures, increase the
dreamlike surrealistic
radiation of the pictures. You
may not try to understand or
conceive. It is quite a
different world where you have
to engage in as a spectator.
