ermann Fitzi's artistic expression is connoted by a re-use of shapes, quotations, mannerisms through a completely modern method, not easy and immediate to understand. The approach to his works is difficult. His paintings are almost always huge as if they were not able to keep the thoughts of the artist and his unexplored universe. His paintings show huge bodies made of stone, but light at the same time when plunging into a petrified sea. In order not to slide on the dressed surfaces, to reach the Meaning and plunge into a timeless and more realistic dimension, it is necessary to understand that the work is meant as a conceptual idea first and than as a manual work. Faber investigates through his mind and not his eyes the world of myth, nature, history (for instance, very precise are the references to the huge archaeological fragments in the Palazzo dei Conservatori in Rome). Hermann Fitzi's art is similar to the sea he has Depicted. It is therefore not completely understandable and for this reason really fascinating.
