EACH LINE ONE BREATH
PARKVIEW ART Hong Kong
Oct 13 - Nov 14, 2015

PARKVIEW ART Hong Kong, specialists in abstract art, is pleased to present German artist John Franzen’s debut show in Asia, Each Line One Breath.
Starting with a single straight line, each subsequent line seeks to imitate its predecessor.
The pattern that evolves is unique to each piece just as each breath, and therefore each line will vary slightly.
Depending on the artist’s constitution, each work obtains an individual motion, which distinguishes it from the others. Concentration and the repetitive act of inhaling and exhaling between each line allow the whole to evolve naturally into logarithmic-like patterns and layers.

Franzen’s works explore issues regarding human spiritual nature and origin.
The line being the fundamental component of a drawing and the breath is the life-giving force for a human being.
Franzen tries to remove all superfluous things and leave behind only the most fundamental existential components of the drawing and the drawer.
