From the exhibition text:
The motifs of abstract architecture play with the formal language of typical modernist buildings (ca. 1920-1960), whose functionalism, objectivity and renunciation of all ornamentation heralded a new era in architecture. In a series of screen prints, Axel Rössler minimises his preference for modern architecture to partition walls and simple spatial structures, which find their counterpart in the colourful and graphic reduction of the screen printing technique. His play with linear shadows and strong colour contrasts underlines the strict orthogonality of the architecture, but at the same time breaks it up in its depiction and opens up free spaces that emphasise the lightness and transparency of the buildings, which make extensive use of glass.
