Artist Statement
| Christian Wirth has been working in the field of printmaking since 1979, with a focus on linocuts and woodcuts. In his works, he combines landscape structures, human interventions, and social tensions to create condensed visual spaces. Nature, culture, and history do not appear as separate realms, but rather as fragile orders that overlap, shift, and shape one another. |
