ZERO
Online - Moderne und zeitgenössische Kunst – Eins von 10 Exemplaren. - Die Chiffren-Drucke von Herbert Zangs gehören zu jenen Werkgruppen, in denen sich sein konsequentes Arbeiten an einer eigenen, radikal reduzierten Bildsprache exemplarisch verdichtet. Ausgangspunkt ist die Geste der Hand: Handdrucke auf Acryl werden zu Zeichen, zu rhythmisch gesetzten Spuren, die zwischen Schreiben und Bild, zwischen Notation und abstraktem Gefüge oszillieren. In diesen Arbeiten verbindet Zangs den physischen Abdruck des Körpers mit einer strengen, beinahe asketischen Ordnung der Fläche - ein Spannungsfeld, das seine Kunst seit den frühen Nachkriegsjahren prägt.
Online - Modern and Contemporary Art – Untitled (Ciphers). 1997. Black intaglio print in acrylic on vellum. (Hand-printed with a unique character). Signed, dated, and numbered. - Magnificent, deep black, and expressive print of the image with visible plate edges. One of 10 copies. - Herbert Zangs' Ciphers prints belong to those groups of works in which his consistent development of his own, radically reduced visual language is exemplarily condensed. The starting point is the gesture of the hand: handprints on acrylic become signs, rhythmically arranged traces that oscillate between writing and image, between notation and abstract structure. In these works, Zangs combines the physical imprint of the body with a strict, almost ascetic order of the surface-a tension that has shaped his art since the early postwar years.
