Wolfgang Brenner`s pictures are not conventional, not classical but different - seemingly elusive in their making, reduced in their colours, fragmentary irritating, enigmatic.
With different materials and techniques he always works in layers which he stacks one on the other. So it is a matter of course that this art is not an elusive, off handed one. It is sophisticated, construed and elaborately composed. The means he uses - photography and text - normally guarantee clear statements. Towards cursory views, though, they raise more questions than they answer.
