Alois Kronschlaeger’s Work is a Play on Geometry of Built Environment

Dilpreet Bhullar, Stir World, February 17, 2022

The large-scale installation art of Alois Kronschlaeger's site-specific works opens a window to the wide scope of influences that are addressed in his works. From the avant-garde legacies of constructivism and post-minimalism to Jazz, architecture, all come into play to inform the works of Austria-born Kronschlaeger. He creates site-specific art installations and abstract art sculptures to play with the geometry of the built environment in order to explore environment, light, space, and time. The repetition in terms of the visual appearance of the sculpture art - be it colour or form, if it at once exudes a sense of poetic rhythm, then also disturbs the geometric patterns of its surroundings. The sculptural installations open the field dotted with optical and kinetic conditions to make the viewers reflect on the unseen part of their immediate environment.
