Visual arts
Lienhard von Monkiewitsch deals in his pictures with the representation of space. He became known in the late 1960s and early 1970s for his room illusionist works, on which only empty tiled floors can be seen. The viewer was challenged to complete the missing walls and fill the rooms with their own imagination. While Monkiewitsch still used perspective here, he later succeeded in circumscribing the space (since 1984) with deep, matt, absorbent colors that led to a black that, on the one hand, seems to push itself in front of the canvas as a result of the special type of pigment application also on the other hand suggests the depth of the infinite space. Based on the work The Black Square by Kasimir Malewitsch , the painter found a multitude of new space suggestive constellations through two cuts in this icon of non-representational painting of the 20th century and through a self-imposed rule for laying the three forms that have now emerged. With these seemingly disrespectful reinterpretations and fragmentations, ultimately destruction, he has become an unorthodox representative of concrete art .
