Digital print artworks by Norbert Brunner

Author Norbert Brunner presented his digital print artworks in Claire Oliver gallery. To create even more catchy art he used LEDs, mirrors and Swarovski crystals. 

Austrian Norbert Brunner uses time and space as a sounding board for the viewer’s personal reflection; it is the Artist’s approach to self actualization. Brunner’s mirror objects reflect not only the viewer, but also superimpose messages across their visual path, insisting they become an interactive part of the installation. Brunner coaxes us to confront the possible by making his text visible only when we stand directly in front of it, forcing us into the center of the work itself and asking us to formulate our own interpretation of reality. This is a positive confrontation; he wants us to come away empowered and energized. By adding a philosophical sense of humor to the reflection, Brunner resists outside pressures and transcends the prevailing negative environment rather than simply “coping with it.”

Located in Zweibrücken, Germany, The Rose Garden of Princess Hildegard of Bavaria grows more than 60,000 roses of 2,000 varieties and, as a result, Zweibrücken is appropriately known as the City of Roses. In celebration of this alluring flower, German artist Ottmar Hörl developed a massive public art installation, entitled 1,000 Roses for Zweibrücken (2012).
