Planning, clarity, execution: in various techniques, sculptures, objects, and installations emerge; they resemble each other and could be interconnected 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 concealed by applying acrylic paint, mainly in black or white. The viscosity, amount, and handling of the paint are repeatedly varied from piece to piece, while the reference to the origin always remains.
