Martin Rupprecht

This book is less a case of velvety searching for meaning pressed between two book covers than an aesthetic outburst, a catching of breath. The artist and successful set designer Martin Rupprecht heads over the horizon with a groove: Energy crackling between traces of color and fragments of collage. Red makes a grand entrance. The format, sequence of pages and image composition are shot through with the organic. Red generally stands for life, fervor, warmth, joy, passion, love, eroticism, anger and aggression. With his exuberant joy in playing, Martin Rupprecht makes his book vibrate with sensuality, yet also with a certain airiness.
