Planning, clarity, execution: in various techniques, sculptures, objects, and installations emerge; they resemble each other and could be connected like a kind of matrix. Markus Krug creates homogeneous, reduced works from a wide range of materials: paper, cardboard, Styrofoam, or polystyrene foam. Due to the manual working method, minimal differences arise, which are highlighted or also camouflaged by the application of acrylic paint, mainly in black or white. The viscosity, amount, and handling of the paint are repeatedly varied from object to object, while the reference to the origin always remains.
