At fleeting first glance, the paintings of Armin Lindauer (*1958) show something that is seemingly familiar. But, barely has the eye of the viewer engaged with what seems evident, with the sensual painting, does Armin Lindauer break the syntax and disappoint and/or deceive expectations: disruptions, breaks, and rejection contradict the first visual impression. The discrepancy between painterly illusion and material substance, between appearance and reality, gives rise to a multilayered ambiguity that permeates his oeuvre as a whole. In this book, the award-winning designer documents his more than thirty years of artistic work.
