Between Substance and Trace – Painting as a State of Matter

Substance as Language – Matter in Transition

The Surface as Event Horizon – Pigment Processes in the Tension Field between Gravitation and Dissolution

Robert Lanz situates his artistic practice at the intersection of materiality, conceptual rigor, and procedural experimentation.


His work unfolds through overlapping layers of the microscopic and the cosmic, the chemical and the poetic. The surface becomes a resonant field – a space where pigments, metals, stones, and light are not mere materials but active agents in a dynamic process.

 

His paintings are not composed in the traditional sense, but emerge through an experimental logic of reaction, transformation, and decay – akin to geological or biological systems under controlled disruption. Lanz is less interested in the final image than in the painting as a site of continuous transition.

 

His series often span hundreds of works on paper, forming visual ecologies that are both meticulous and volatile. In contrast, his large-format paintings appear as concentrated zones – crystallizations of a process that elsewhere remains in flux.

Pigment as a Cosmic Trace

Color becomes the residual signature of an event – shaped by temporal pressure, gravity, and molecular drift.

The Image Thinks in States of Matter

Between solid, liquid, and evaporated – painting emerges as a transitional form, a visible expression of thermodynamic systems.

The Surface as Resonant Space

Every impulse, every response inscribes itself into the skin of the painting – as an echo of light, touch, and entropy.

Matter as a Carrier of Memory

What adheres, remains – pigment particles preserve moments like archives, driven by pressure, friction, and time.

Light as a Form-Giving Force

The eye does not merely see – light itself constructs the image: through scattering, reflection, and quantum flow.
Robert Lanz

Beyond the image, the field begins.
