Alexander Staffler developed a passion for drawing at an early age, which arose from the need to express his impressions and emotions. The process behind Staffler's work is instinctive: his art emerges from a sketch, an abstract idea that spreads through his mind and is able to convey his thoughts in a direct way. This releases a great deal of energy and tension, which intensifies the work. He circles a condensed structure with targeted lines, allowing the form to emerge only during the working process.
Alexander Staffler's artworks are distorted, imaginary abstractions that take up the grotesque, the impure and the fantastic. His work is characterised by a web of exaggerated otherness and deformation. The dichotomy between the imaginary world and his real, social thoughts lends his work an enigmatic, cosmic presence. The longing for beauty, weightlessness and the feeling of freedom accompany his work.
Staffler chooses materials and colours that can evoke certain moods. His painting is characterised by black and white, the contrast of which contains great dynamism and tension. The forms are composed of elusive, impetuous movements that are complemented by successive elements. He uses painting tools such as brushes or spray cans in impetuous movements to achieve the desired forms. Mechanical components merge with deep sensations to bring to life the structures anchored in the artist's mind.
