Fruhwirth describes his work as drawing that blurs the line between abstraction and landscape. “These drawings are derived from actual locations.”
“These drawings are derived from actual locations. When drawn, the image begins to operate as a screen or a membrane on which the view of a surrounding condenses and congeals. Here the picture plane acts to extend the delay within which sensations begin to take hold, prolonging the flicker between a moment before-ness and a meaning-reflex. The drawings, wedged between ‘abstraction’ and ‘place’, engage the viewer in a patient perceptual movement back and forth within the presented space by in-forming the threshold within which our surroundings always unfold as ‘making sense”. The drawing format operates on a scale that relates to the viewer’s body. It is no longer a ‘picture’ to behold, but rather a space or place within which both the image and the observer emerge intertwined from within the act of viewing itself.”
