ARTIST STATEMENT
Simon Goritschnig draws inspiration from nature and the phenomena of life and living matter. Therefore his work is driven by curiosity and a constant search for questions. His artistic practice is a way to reflect upon the overwhelming complexity of the cosmos, where he tries to find connections between the processes that
constitute it.
He uses a wide array of different techniques, ranging from drawing and painting to sculpture and computer graphics, depending on the perspective and focus of his research. These artworks are often combined into sight specific installations, where the viewer becomes the investigator, searching for the common thread, that holds everything together.
