- The Pictures of Concepts -


The cycle "Colors" deals with the difference between the visible and the imagined. The five color plates contrast with the terms yellow, red, blue, black, and white. The colored sheets are something visible, dependent on the conditions of their materiality. The concepts conveyed by the writing, i.e. the combination of lines, are something imagined. The legibility of writing presupposes certain conventions for comprehending signs. Ideas about colors are formed through perception.
The distinction between the visible and the imagined is related to the elementary nature of the colors used here and the immateriality and comprehensiveness of the color concepts. The primary colors, like black and white, are indistinguishable. There is no exact, unambiguous correspondence between the concept and the object of perception. Red as a concept does not refer to a single red, but to all possible variations. Concepts are something independent and general.
The constitutive aspects of this series include the reduction of all colors to their irreducible components, the transformation of lineatures into something thought through writing, the presentation of individual words outside the usual syntax, and the reality of the conceptual. The visible differs from the thought, the individual from the universal.

- Heinz Gappmayr



About the artist

Heinz Gappmayr is considered the most important representative of visual poetry in the German-speaking world. Since the late 1950s, he has developed linguistic concepts as an object of visual art. Gappmayr elevated the concept to the status of a pictorial object, thus raising the question not only of the relationship between sign and signified, but above all of the pictorial nature of concepts. The concepts become "concept pictures" that have an aesthetic value of their own and yet retain their universality as signs.
