The Energy of Georg Weiss Creative - innovative thinking
For more than fifty years, Georg Weiss (1942-2014) created subtly evocative artworks.
Georg Weiss was possessed by his work. He was ruthless with himself in his process of artistic creativity. The great continuum of his oeuvre was its precision craftsmanship and the will toward ongoing transformation. From within himself, Georg Weiss felt and responded to the impetus to translate his thoughts into the world of visual art. Georg Weiss participated in the world through
his creations. He always refered to developments in politics, society, technology, and science. This participation in contemporary developments manifests itself in his choice of themes, mode of presentation in public space, and (last but not least) in the way he implemented and manifested
his artworks. Since 1998, he has created his artworks solely with the aid of a computer. He
continually explored and expanded the technical limits, always working the latest and highest-performance hardware and software. In everything he created, Georg Weiss payed no need to conventional public tastes, opinions, and trends. Georg Weiss was a lone wolf.
ABOUT THE WORK
The oeuvre of Georg Weiss was borne upon tremendous earnestness and the will to trigger feelings and emotions. He rebeled against social and technological developments which reduce the individual to a mere functional element. Georg Weiss recognized the danger and risks of our modern industrial society and battles for freedom of thought, action, and feeling. He demanded of himself and others a high degree of sensitivity toward developments that divide people
from themselves and others. In his own words, he created "worlds". When he said this, Georg Weiss meant that his artworks do not merely involve formal, aesthetic, and craftsmanship aspects, but are also a message which, based on the foundation of his mastery of craftmanship, he translated into the language
of the visual arts.

INTERVIEW
I am inspired and motivated by
" modern jazz from the end 1950s to the present day, beginning with Miles
Davis, John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, and Roland Kirk and continuing to
the present day"
" modern, serious music, beginning with Luigi Nono and John Cage and
continuing to the present day"
" all visual art that leads toward new ways of seeing and
thinking, from the Renaissance to the present day"
" contemporary performance art and modern theater in all its
appearances, including the new forms and contents of opera"
" worlds of thought in literature and philosophy, e.g. the work of
Nietzsche, Sartre, Huxley, and Beckett to the work of
contemporary authors and philosophers "
" films that confront political and philosophical problems"
" discussions about politics, philosophy, art, science, and
technology in all forms "
" determination and logical consistency in thought and action"
" art as research "
" the sovereignty of skillfulness in art, including the use of the
latest technologies, e.g. electronics "
" architecture and design in their global, cultural diversity "
" the idea of global diversity and tolerance "
" the believe in the power of the individual to resist reduction
to mere function "
" the believe that art, when it collaborates with its beholder,
can truly have an effect "
" the ability to communicate wordwide through my artworks "
" the sentence which insists 'it is a lie that man can fly "
My strength and competencies are in
" visual arts "
" creative and innovative thinking "
" mastery of painting techniques from those of the Old Masters to state-
of- the-art electronics "
" my existential confrontation and its translation into creative worlds "
" my artworks, which unite the visual with the audible while including
scientific-technical elements "
" the diversity of my oeuvre "
" serving as a source of impulses, discussions, confrontations "
" the exact planning of stringently thought-through exhibition concepts "
" staging art as a lived experience "
" seeking and finding audible worlds "
" the representation of contemplation through the contemporary means
of visual arts "
" the ongoing search for and discovery of contemporary expressive forms
that highlight the problematic issues of our era "
" the questioning of rigidly established structures "
" my working discipline "
" my firm belief that art ought to have an effect "
