CONSTANTIN LUSER

Constantin Lusers Zeichnungen sind geographische Umsetzungen von Gedanken, technisch komplexe, mit vielen Layern aus Worten, Chiffren, Symbolen, abstrakten und figurativen Elementen versehene Systeme. Aussen- und Innenwelt scheinen in Lusers Werk zu verschmelzen. Was ist Gedanke, was Wahrnehmung? Ein Eintauchen in diese Zeichnungen ist wie eine Achterbahnfahrt durch die Gedankenwelt des Künstlers: "Being Constantin Luser", ohne Halt bis zum 7 1/2 Stockwerk. Constantin Lusers visuelle Referenz zur Computergraphik schafft einen inhaltlichen Bezug zur digitalen Informationsverarbeitung, doch ist das, was die Datenmaschine Luser ausspuckt voll von Emotionen und Impulsen und fällt auf durch die Strichführung: "Die Linie, die er zieht, ist fein und genau, sie wird zum Muster, zur Formel, zum Bild, zum Wort, zur Erzählung. Wie ein klarer Gedanke stellt sie Verbindungen her. Es entsteht ein Schaltplan, der Ebenen definiert, Strukturen erarbeitet, Verhältnisse festlegt und Orientierung ermöglicht"

Constantin Luser’s drawings are mind maps reminiscent of geographic charts or blueprints for non-existing machines. They display a complex system that consists of words and symbols as well as abstract and figurative elements. They seem to merge the interior and exterior worlds, thereby blurring what is reality and what is perceived as such. A more in-depth interpretation of Luser’s art easily turns into a roller coaster ride into this artists brain with a final stop on the 7 1/2 floor: Welcome to "Being Constantin Luser”.Constantin Luser’s visual reference to computer graphics creates a smart link to digital data processing, a link that the Luser processor instantly undermines by mixing the data with emotional content through an impulsive style of drawing. "He draws a very fine and accurate line which transforms from a pattern to a formula, from an image to a word and from there to a narrative. It connects like a very clear thought. What results is a switchboard that defines different layers, creates structures and determines relations that allow a certain degree of orientation
