KENNETH GASSER

Currently living in Innsbruck, Austria.

My interest spans a wide range of curiosity-driven insight. The focus in art however is mostly dedicated to rhythmical patterns and my approach to drawing is greatly inspired by improvisational music. Scales and phrasing in music have a similar connotation to symbols and rendering in drawing, furthermore dynamics equal contrast. And music’s rhythm in time equals a drawing’s rhythm in space.

Improvising in this borderless field eventually leads to the development of an individual organic form and hence an individual meaning of its appearance.

Thus the drawing becomes a sort of exploration, where countless possibilities of combinations can be tried. Line work, ornaments and bodily features get put together in endless varieties of sequences and arrays that often may not only surprise the drawer himself but – in the best case – also the eye of the beholder.
