However, this quote does not apply to Matthias Kretschmer's work. You could perhaps even say that he has succeeded in "squaring the circle" in his artistic approach to his assemblages.
Kretschmer, born and raised in Gmunden in 1980, is a graduate of the Advertising Academy and the Vienna University of Economics and Business. After 10 years in marketing, he turned his hobby into a profession and has since worked as a professional freelance artist in his studios in Gmunden, Vienna and Györ (Hungary). He is the winner of the Palm Art Merit Award 2015, permanent artist of the Stilgalerie Wien, guest artist at the LDX Artodrome gallery in Berlin and member of the KitzArt art association.
Although a circle is a flat figure, Kretschmer lends his concentrically arranged circles three-dimensionality through collages with sculptural objects. However, the shape of the circle as a symbol of unity and unity is only part of Matthias Kretschmer's symbolic art. Many small elements, mostly pieces of cutlery, form the order of his consistently serially used materials.
