Artworks by Beatriz von Eidlitz are on display in the old town hall. Rather than relying on classical painting for her pictorial objects, she pursues her own unique path, which is based on a well-conceived combination of outstanding craftsmanship and expertise.
Beatriz von Eidlitz began making paper at an early age, rebuilt an old paper mill in Austria and has been experimenting with a wide variety of materials and fabrics ever since. Intensive exploration of the processes of paper technology culminated in the development of her distinctive method of artistic design. She creates her artworks both on paper and on iron plates. In the production process, both materials play their part in interplay with pigments and sculptural forms. The open, lively textures of the surfaces are decisive for the formal language and expressive quality. Design planning and the coincidences of the material’s own will, such as oxidation, enter into an exciting interplay, as does the polarity of figuration and abstraction. Beatriz von Eidlitz concentrates on geometric forms, clear lines and mostly bold colors. A closeness to the natural process of creation remains visible and opens up a tremendous diversity of textures and chromatic nuances. The artist’s avowed aim is to conjure a magical intensity in the harmony of color, form and the unmistakable character of the surfaces.
