Detlef Schweiger – crossover in the lavur, lineament and etching

crossover - Detlef Schweiger allows the elements of his lavur paintings to cross over without completely covering each other, as they are more or less transparently ‘painted’. Over the last ten years, Schweiger has developed the rare technique of pure ink lavur in a new process with technical brilliance, creating a completely independent style and world of forms that, while not figurative, is richly reminiscent of organic, tectonic and other natural structures. The same can be seen in his large-format drypoint etchings and his lineament drawings,  as different as they are - and yet in their consistency. ‘from a single mould’. Formally, this results in elementary connections between these three areas of work, in which the artist has also developed completely independent techniques that have a number of unique features.
