The Artistic Practice of Constantin Luser
Born in Graz, Austria, Constantin Luser is a designer, painter, visual artist, and installation artist. His academic background includes studies in Industrial Design at the Fachhochschule Graz, followed by Conceptual Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, and Visual Media at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. His drawings function as graphic implementations of thought, characterized by technically complex systems composed of multiple layers of words, ciphers, symbols, and both abstract and figurative elements. These works often reference computer graphics, utilizing a fine and precise line work to define structures, establish relationships, and provide orientation within the visual field.
Technique and Spatial Exploration
Luser has developed a unique graphic printing method known as "Drahtografie" (wiregraphy). This process involves using wire to create a "relief print" by pressing the wire directly into paper, which remains enclosed by the material. This technique creates works situated between two-dimensional graphics and three-dimensional structures, described by the artist as a "reduction from space drawing to two-dimensionality." This concept relates to his "space drawings," which are wire sculptures formed from shaped wire and suspended from the ceiling by a string, allowing them to float freely in space. His work has been exhibited internationally and featured in various installations, including a permanent installation in the Austrian Parliament building in Vienna.
