Tender, lithe, slim and young, these idealized, loosely rendered figures suggest the timeless and eternal. The focus centers on body language and kinetic movement. By leaving the faces vague, with eyes almost always closed, there is room for dreaming - both in the viewer and within the subjects of the painting. This quality of the somewhat indefinite yet perfect form creates a romantic aura. Most often, Gorg uses a monochromatic palete.
Soft color is applied with graphite in combination with translucent layers of oil.
Shading is subtle - white highlights focus attention as does the sparing use of bright color. Born in Dernbach in West Germany in 1951, his formative years were spent in Koblentz before moving to Maintz to study at the Johannnes Guttenburg University. Gorg has happy memories of his student days and in particular, of his teacher Saalfield, who motivated him to draw with academic precision, a skill which in no small way contributes to the quality of his work today.
