Thorsten Zwinger

Thorsten Zwinger (artist pseudonym ZWINGER, born March 23, 1962 in Greifswald) is a German painter.

Work
Exhibition "Palmers Pausen", 2016

Thorsten Zwinger works on the assumptions of an image survey, which pursues three media basics: 1. As a painter, he operates in a structurally designed character system, which is intended to switch off historically loaded attachments to terms such as abstraction, concreteness, narration, illusionism, pop art, concept, realism. The 2. line is complementary to painting. Zwinger photographes as others would draw. Both basics cross correspondingly above the endpoints of visibility: resolution (painting) and concretion (photography). The 3. line attempts to transfer the problem between image and perception into the spatial. The sculptures of blown glass volumes, or of alienated packaging, which are designed as objects, are to investigate the phenomenon of appearance.

He lives in Greifswald and Berlin. He is an ancestor of Eugen Zwinger.
