Jorg Hartig. REALPOP

Throughout his life, Jorg Hartig has taken his inspiration from his immediate environment - from phenomena of modern civilization and culture. He particularly engaged with their issues and problems, which has added a strong component of contemporary criticism to his work. Hartig's work is always tied to reality in key subject groups, which characterize both the artist himself and, metaphorically, the respective time period. He himself describes his oeuvre as REAL POP. Hartig's treatment of color in his mostly large-format pictures is masterly. An interview with the artist highlights his pioneering role in the use of acrylic paint in Austria.
