Eberhard Freudenreich

Line, form and paper are the fundamental elements in Eberhard Freudenreich's work. From the line he develops his entire repertoire of forms, he shapes them by cutting, superimposing, folding or by reshaping with pencil or colored pencil. He uses the line as an instrument to create form, which he realizes in, on and with paper. Experimentally, he deals with these three elements in various groups of works, which he declines through and at times does not conclude. "One comes from the other and one reflects the other" - this is how Eberhard Freudenreich summarizes the development in his art during a visit to his Stuttgart studio, early 2017.
