Tillman Kaiser’s pictures, collages, sculptures, and objects are abstract and figurative, flat and three-dimensional, associative and concrete at once. Composed of symmetrical crystalline structures, lozenges, and rectangles, the artist’s rhythmically dynamic works suggest the fascinating gaze through a kaleidoscope. The limited palette and the visual idiom of the artist’s pictures reflect his studies in the avant-gardes of the early twentieth century. The painting quotes and varies ideas and considerations from Viennese Kineticism. Sigmund Freud’s theses on psychoanalysis as well as elements of science fiction are also among Kaiser’s sources of inspiration.
