Presentation
The Los Angeles-based, Austrian artist Markus Bacher places his artistry somewhere between abstraction and figuration, not explicitly gravitating towards neither of the two. His style is described as an allowance for both artistic expressions to emerge one from another, and to complement each other.
Bacher’s art can be described as a discussion with landscape. Allegedly, his style is also influenced by prolific Californian artists, but Veit Loers insists that Bacher’s painting is simply “too idiosyncratic, to be reduced to influences”.
