In search of an absolute font
On September 25, 2019, an exhibition with "Idéoglyphen" by Michel Winninger will open at the Erich Lexer Clinic
Almost obsessed with modern art and petroglyphs (from the Greek petros "stone" and glýphein "to carve"), the French artist Michel Winninger has been blackening hundreds of notebooks with sketches for more than 30 years now, in search of an absolute script made up of imaginary characters, the "idéoglyphs". This fall, his works can be seen at the Erich-Lexer-Klinik (Breisacher Straße 84b in Freiburg). The exhibition will open on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 at 5 pm with a vernissage. The works can be viewed until Friday, November 8, 2019 from Monday to Friday between 8 am and 4 pm.
Michel Winninger was born in 1960 in Mulhouse (Mulhouse), France. After a stay at the Norwich Art School in England in 1981, he received his Diplôme National d'Expression Plastique (DNSEP) degree from the École des Beaux-Arts in Mulhouse in 1982.
The Idéoglyphen are characterized by remarkable sculptural techniques and material compositions. Winninger conveys his art on monolithic marble panels with semi-precious stone inserts, uses tempera painting on wood inspired by Byzantine icon painting or applies rare pigments to canvas.
