Drawing inspiration from photographs of people and everyday actions, Füreder captures moments that are at once sensual, extravagant, and harmoniously coloured—each piece a kaleidoscope of figures, places, and stories.
In Füreder’s hands, the canvas becomes a space of transformation. Through the act of scratching text fragments and letters into the surface, she imbues her work with a sense of energy that floats between the tangible and the abstract.
The play of light and dark, the application and removal of layers of colour, and the integration of relief-like structures create a mystical aura that is both hypnotic and thought-provoking. It is this meditative yet energetic process that defines Füreder’s distinctive style—a delicate balance of creation and destruction, holding on and letting go.
For Füreder, painting is not merely an act of expression; it is an ongoing dialogue with the canvas, a journey of discovery and rediscovery. Like an archaeologist uncovering the layers of time, she reveals what lies beneath the surface—both in her art and in the human condition.
Each piece is a testament to the vulnerability and strength inherent in existence, inviting the viewer to reflect on the deeper questions of life, identity, and the passing of time.
We are excited to present Margit J. Füreder’s extraordinary work in this edition, and we hope her art will inspire you as much as it has inspired us.
