Brandner sees his basic task as presenting on the painted surface the forces that determine our world. His continuous analysis of people, shapes in the landscape and architecture produces countless stimuli and pictorial discoveries. With bold strokes of color the artist expresses his impressions of the outside world. His alphabet of color is concentrated on the radiant primary colors red, blue and yellow, accompanied by black and white accents as contrast. The intersection, spanning, overlapping and wedging of the bars of color, the overlay of layers of paint that again and again are torn apart, the transparency of the glazes, they all combine to present to the observer the constellation of forces behind the moving surface structure, the pushing and shoving of shapes in an illusionary spatial order. The inclusions of white create a balance in the interplay of artistic forces that characterize Brandner’s work. The artist never holds back his forces, he always radiates energy, and he always hits the core of creation.
