Since Paris the pictures have been built up layer by layer. Maier begins with direct underpainting and then, in a lengthy work process, puts several glazes of oil paint over the primer. This process corresponds not least to Maier's idea of painting as storage, as he initially articulated it in extremely impasto oil paintings at the end of the nineties. Painting is the place where reality external to the picture is reflected without it becoming an illustration or reproduction. Painting takes on all sorts of facts, objects or even images that have accumulated in memory as individual snapshots or as a general cultural legacy ...
