Wolfgang Messing defines a multi-level system of allegories in changing degrees of complexity, to represent fragmented memory of global events. He uses a variety of sources from social media and news feeds, photography, advertisements, movie quotes, books, found images, archival and museum artefacts, allusions to the history of culture, to abstract geometric comparisons. He is known for figurative, abstract, expressionist painting.
