Impressit's Artist Spotlight: Georg Gartz
Next Stop by Gartz. Photo by Tony Knox.
Gartz's installation has been constructed especially for Impressit. He is interested in bust stops - and the inside/outside spaces they provide. The construction is made from everyday found materials, rescued from skips or recycled from previous projects, to create a 3D abstract composition. His prints are all unique screenprints made at ArtLab studios, and are installed as part of the construction. The prints reflect his interest in architecture, and include surfaces of different materials, echoing the lines and elements of the construction housing them.
Gartz was born in 1955 in Krefeld and lives and works in Cologne, Germany. He studied Fine Art at the Fachhochschule in Cologne. Gartz is co-founder of the Eight Days A Week project and has collaborated with Pete Clarke since 1999.
