Jan-Phillipp Fruhsorge interviews Nikolous Gansterer – The concept of ‘Meta Drawing”

I found the concept behind this illustrators drawings really interesting, and I thought it related quite well to my own work – ”The use of drawing as a means of visualizing thought procsess is a central aspect of your artistic practice” I really liked how Gansterer explained how is main aim in drawing was not overall the finished aesthetic and was more of a pure form of communication. ”My practice is definitely not based on an attempt to illustrate something …. I am interested in drawing as a form of translation, actualisation and transformation.”

Upon reading this I was also introduced to the concept of ”Meta Drawing” , which is also how I would define a lot of my own practice – drawing not for the aesthetic but moreover as a translation of processes. Gansterer explains how his drawings are ”a medium of connection between these two disciplines or schools of thought – science and Art”. I believe that much of my drawings are an explanation of philosophy and art.
