Planning, clarity, execution: in various techniques, sculptures, objects and installations emerge; they resemble each other and could be connected like a kind of matrix. Markus Krug creates homogeneous, reduced works from a wide range of materials: paper, cardboard, Styrofoam, or polystyrene foam. Due to the manual working method, minimal differences arise, which are highlighted or camouflaged by applying acrylic paint, mainly in black or white. The viscosity, amount and handling of the paint are repeatedly changed from object to object, while the reference to the origin always remains.
