Ingo Nussbaumer (born January 1, 1956 in Leibnitz ) is an Austrian artist and art theorist .

Life

Ingo Nussbaumer grew up as the child of a family of teachers in St. Nikolai ob Draßling in southern Styria . Between 1976 and 1982 he studied painting and philosophy in Basel, Salzburg and Vienna, where he then moved into his studio on Myrthengasse.

Together with Eva Blimlinger , Ela Hornung-Ichikawa and Johannes Matthiesen, Ingo Nussbaumer ran a branch of the Free International University (FIU) in Vienna in 1987 in order to create a contemporary discussion forum for art in Vienna. The events as part of the FIU took place in Ingo Nussbaumer's studio until the branch was closed in 1989.

In 2014 Nussbaumer took on a teaching position as a visiting professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna . There is also a collaboration between querkraft architects and Ingo Nussbaumer. The Viennese architecture office integrates Nussbaumer as an artist for the design of comprehensive color concepts in building projects. The first joint project was completed in 2015 in the Ottakring district of Vienna. It is the ODO residential building for which Nussbaumer took over the facade design. Ingo Nussbaumer lives and works in Vienna and Stettenhof .

The examination and phenomenological research of color and color effects are at the center of Ingo Nussbaumer's art theoretical and visual work. The artist's artistic oeuvre can be divided into two groups: paintings and light objects.

In addition to Bauhaus and abstract expressionism, the approaches of non-relational painting by Donald Judd and Frank Stella influenced his early painting. His style has been characterized by the systematic creation of series of paintings from the beginning. In this way, Nussbaumer was able to examine colors in various interrelationships, such as the behavior of color surfaces, light, shadow or the creation of color spaces, and work out new approaches. Since 1997, paintings have been given the title color proposition in order to make it clear that color structures formulate pictorial expressions that can have content-creating functions that go beyond mere representational meanings.

Nussbaumer creates paintings on an oil and alkyd basis as well as watercolors. In the field of watercolors, Nussbaumer developed his own stencil technique for creating colored surfaces in order to achieve sharp-edged interlocking and interlocking of colors. His watercolors are also usually grouped into image blocks or series, such as the series Kaspar Hauser's attempt to torpedo the commanded pitch , which was created between 2013 and 2015 and at the viennacontemporary art fair from September 24-27, 2015 (Hubert Winter Gallery ) was shown.

His light installations take up the subject of color again on a spectral level and are based on intensive experiments with color phenomena. For more than ten years, Nussbaumer studied the interaction of prismatic color phenomena. These investigations can definitely be seen as a continuation of the work Interaction of Color by Josef Albers , although Nussbaumer focuses on spectral colors . Referring to the methodical approach in Goethe's color theory , he succeeded in further developing Goethe 's experiments, specifically including Isaac Newton's experiments. This eventually led to the discovery of six more new color spectra in 1995. Coupled with the reworking of Newton's Experimentum Crucis, Nussbaumer initiated a discourse between art, philosophy and physics.

His light objects all operate with spectral color phenomena. For this purpose, large water prisms are used, through which light from slide projectors funneled over gaps and bridges throw spectra onto specially developed collecting templates, through which the spectral color phenomena are then fragmented. In that the fragmented spectra can be viewed through additional prisms set up in the room, the original colors combine to form new colors and constellations.
