The basis of the work by Hermann Fuchs on abstract photography is not a conceptual but an aesthetic approach. “The intention is to further develop the understanding of abstract painting with photographic and image-forming means. In concept, I do not differ from the approach of abstract painting. However, digital image design enables a unique form of abstraction that cannot be achieved by painterly means. Only digital templates and digital editing tools are used. The aim is to aesthetically change the original artwork, to abstract the figurative and deale with colours and forms in a playful way.”

Threat by Hermann Fuchs

“Energy and motion made visible – memories arrested in space”
― Jackson Pollock

Popart No2 by Hermann Fuchs

“Form itself, even if completely abstract ... has its own inner sound.”
― Wassily Kandinsky

Defense No1 by Hermann Fuchs

“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes....Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas.”
― Arshile Gorky

Hamargedon No2 by Hermann Fuchs

“Before, I could only guess of who I was. Now, thanks to my art, I know who I am”

― Luhraw

Hermann Fuchs

The Austrian photographer Hermann Fuchs explored the medium of black-and-white photography theoretically and practically from 1976-1981.

"The theoretical basis was formed by a large number of books on the subjects of photography, positive/laboratory technology. Practical implementation was carried out with a Canon F1, metres of Ilford film material and my laboratory.

2005 „re-entry“ and until today theoretical and practical research of the medium digital photography and digital processing with Adobe Photoshop. The digital age opens up great innovative possibilities. Digital Imaging uses this potential. Many critics dismiss digital imaging as „gimmickry“, „arbitrariness“. Nothing is more serious!

Digital Imaging explores new possibilities of pictorial representation, stands for an aesthetic change of the original models, stands for the abstraction of the representational, and stands for change in the art scene.

What do I want? To provoke an intellectual examination of the works. To this end, the work must lead through emotion to the association and further to critical reflection. This succeeds through alienation or abstraction – through „peeling out“ the constituent elements of an object or their reinterpretation. In the digital world, I can use a variety of colours and forms that does not exist in the analogue world. This enables an aesthetic force that draws the viewer into a dialogue."
