Förg is often associated with the “Neue Wilde” (New Wild Ones) generation, but he quickly distanced himself from this expressive style of painting and instead developed a conceptual approach that engaged with the history of modernism and the formal language of abstraction. His works reflect the relationship between architecture, painting, and space, placing him in a fruitful dialogue with artists such as Ellsworth Kelly, Barnett Newman, and Blinky Palermo. Förg’s large-scale abstract paintings are strongly influenced by geometric abstraction and Minimalism. His series of “Grid Paintings,” for example, shows clear parallels with the works of Piet Mondrian and Josef Albers, whose rigorous geometric structures and reduced color palettes shaped the foundations of modern abstraction. Förg, however, reinterpreted these clear geometric forms in a new way by introducing a rougher, more expressive texture, which also connects him with Color Field painters such as Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman, who used color as a vehicle for emotion and meaning. Another central aspect of Förg’s work was his engagement with architecture, both in his photography and in his painting. Förg’s photographs, which depict modern buildings such as those by Le Corbusier and Bauhaus architects, reflect his interest in structure and form, bringing him close to artists such as Donald Judd, whose minimalist sculptures also display a rigorous formal logic. Both artists shared an interest in how space and materiality affect the viewer and relate to one another in an intense way. Förg’s paintings, particularly his monochrome fields and the combination of geometric forms with free, expressive gestures, are reminiscent of the works of Blinky Palermo. Palermo, who worked with abstract forms and often incorporated space as an integral part of his art, had a significant influence on Förg’s work. Both artists explored the possibilities of abstraction and Minimalism, with Förg employing more pronounced texture and a dynamic, often irregular brushstroke.
