Copyright Behr-Thyssen Ltd. Jurgen Gorg Jurgen Gorg captivates us with the lines of his drawings. The artist combines the mastery of the classical line as found in the Italian Renaissance with a very modern interpretation and use. The view is caught in the movement. The melodic flow reminds us of jazz and the improvisational quality of the departure from and return to a simple melody.
Space is explored, filled and accented - all executed with a lyrical, subtle, and delicate fluidity.
As his mind flows, his hand follows. The human body is the predominant image portrayed by Gorg. His artistic universe consists of lovers, dancers, musicians, and masked personages. Tender, lithe, slim and young, these idealized, loosely rendered figures suggest the timeless and eternal. The focus centers on body language and kinetic movement.
