Work

Since the 1980s, Stefan Etllinger painted many pictures with egg tempera. They show mostly sketchy, figurative or representational events. The image space is perceived as a dynamic whole in which can be several events from different time periods combined with each other on a surface. In the representation they act interlocking and overlapping. His templates are mostly film stills, photographs and self-made sketches. This he puts together a collage and edited the picturesque divergent perspectives and compares them with each other. The action levels are thereby horizontally or vertically separated from each other, but partly also provided in a common landscape context.
