At the beginning, the characters are counteracted by characters, fixed on the ground by brackets made in fine lines, almost impaled by arrows and held in place. Heads are crowned by crosses like church spiers, the contours are protected from the free space on the sheet by a kind of insect-like hair. The figures turn into monsters, but with the patience of a biologist they are recorded in taxonomies by the draftsman. But later the bodies undergo a metamorphosis. They change insidiously, are stretched by ribbons, schematized, forced into shape like a corset, flatten and begin to be reduplicated in series. The drawing becomes a drawing machine. The body gives birth to a signal system. The ego is translated into an adjustable symbolic household. The fine line becomes painting, the painting collages, the collage is sealed with poisonous, viscous varnish like a ship's deck for a long voyage. Not every painting could withstand a downpour, but these panels can. The Dutch term for painting, Schilderij, could also be taken literally in German. The pictures are signs and shields. Impregnated against the influences of the outside world. In the end, Hirschvogel's paintings still contain the drawing elements, but have lost their color differentiation. You are black. Dense mass of color, on which the content is better understood by the sense of touch than by the eye. Blackout. Fading. The picture screen goes dark. The painter resigns. This resignation from the service of art history does not have to be imagined as a dramatic self-abandonment or even as an existential failure. The artist changes his creative profession and has since led a successful bourgeois existence away from the corporate community. He is no longer Hirschvogel because Hirschvogel made all the essential statements in 2002.
