Patrick Siegl draws the monumental architecture and archaic landscapes of the Far East in such minute detail that true appreciation requires a magnifying glass
With around 70 works, Patrick Siegl has created an astonishingly extensive and diverse body of work since 2010. However, the number of works is only astonishing if you consider the artist’s mode of working. That some of his works require two years or more for their creation is the rule rather than the exception. This means two years of focusing and dwelling mentally on one single piece, suggesting a deep inner conviction about the artistic undertaking. Profound mental energy is needed to persist in this way, without a break, until the work’s completion.
