Michael Kutschbach

[… Michael Kutschbach] draws and models in order to experience another reality, and he creates in order to bring into being what cannot be put into words. […] Controlled chaos resides here. It is genuine exuberance compressed into formal values. An evident self-assuredness assigns every sensually executed possibility the proper place and appropriately cool temperature. […] In every drawing one beholds how he has worked it, erased marks, consolidated constellations, and retained contexts compactly. Compositional depths are tightly intertwined with intricate harmonies. […] The wall drawings and intimate drawings on paper […] are all part of a categorical system, in which freedom and coincidence are recognized as anthropological constants. Furthermore, they possess every quality a substantive work requires in order to communicate: clarity, depth, construction — bound with expressive power.
