Several grants and subsidies. Filip Haag's work is characterized by a consistent change in various production techniques, both classical and experimental. Nevertheless, there is a homogeneous body of work. The concept of metamorphosis serves as the main theme. Haag deals with the research of aggregate states and documents the characteristics of temporality and spatiality, form and matter. The idea of ​​such a liquid assembly is aptly expressed in his five-minute computer animation INK’N GO (2002). Even in the early phase of 1986–89, which was characterized by figurative painting, Haag experimented with light-sensitive photo papers and chemicals. In the INJECTIONS group of works (1992–2007) he processes the results of photochemical processes and prints them out as an inkjet. This process of reflection and deliberate selection of an excerpt, sometimes only the size of a postage stamp, which extends over a long period of time, also determines other groups of works such as RECYCLING (since 1992–93), NIEDERSCHLÄGE (since 1999) and his ink works. The latter, such as RAMADIEN (1997) or SABALIS (2004), are the result of pyrotechnic processes in which Haag mixes Indian ink with easily flammable liquids and then ignites them on paper or glass. The DUETTE & DUELLE (since 2004) are also part of this, but are further processed in a painterly way. The INSECTIONS group, which appeared in 1992–96 and again since 2004 (MIFULO, 2005), is about finger painting that is close to Tachismus. With these works and his time-consuming, detailed drawings and prints, Haag creates a counterpart to the work in accelerated production technology. Since 2004, he has been producing more and more oil paintings that are reminiscent of the Informel from the 1950s, such as KROWOTA (2005) or QAKINZ (2008). The bronze sculptures he has made since 2003, such as NARALIS (2006-08), are also to be understood as a consistent continuation of the exploration of the subject of metamorphosis. They are based on the formations of wax poured into Lake Thun...

Salvador Dali - Sator, from "Faust" Original Etching Embossed signature From the edition of 731 Dimensions: 38,5 x 28,5 cm 1969 References : Field 69-1 K / Michler & Lopsinger 305 Salvador Dali Salvador Dali was born as the son of a prestigious notary in the small town of Figueras in Northern Spain. His talent as an artist showed at an early age and Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali received his first drawing lessons when he was ten years old. His art teachers were a then well known Spanish impressionist painter, Ramon Pichot and later an art professor at the Municipal Drawing School. In 1923 his father bought his son his first printing press. Dali began to study art at the Royal Academy of Art in Madrid. He was expelled twice and never took the final examinations. His opinion was that he was more qualified than those who should have examined him. In 1928 Dali went to Paris where he met the Spanish painters Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. He established himself as the principal figure of a group of surrealist artists grouped around Andre Breton, who was something like the theoretical "schoolmaster" of surrealism. Years later Breton turned away from Dali accusing him of support of fascism, excessive self-presentation and financial greediness. By 1929 Dali had found his personal style that should make him famous the world of the unconscious that is recalled during our dreams. The surrealist theory is based on the theories of the psychologist Dr. Sigmund Freud. Recurring images of burning giraffes and melting watches became the artist's surrealist trademarks. His great craftsmanship allowed him to execute his paintings in a nearly photo-realistic style. No wonder that the artist was a great admirer of the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael. Salvador Dali and Gala. Meeting Gala was the most important event in the artist's life and decisive for his future career. She was a Russian immigrant and ten years older than Dali. When he met her, she was married to Paul Eluard. Gala decided to stay with Dali. She became his companion, his muse, his sexual partner, his model in numerous art works and his business manager. For him she was everything. Most of all Gala was a stabilizing factor in his life. And she managed his success in the 1930s with exhibitions in Europe and the United States. Gala was legally divorced from her husband in 1932. In 1934 Dali and Gala were married in a civil ceremony...
