Although Michael Dietlinger works with painting, the main focus of his work is printmaking. Working with classical linocut and woodcut techniques, connected with 20 th-century avant-garde art, he creates extensive series of prints. Formally, Dietlinger has been working towards a greater level of purity, in particular in his series of linocuts from the past two years, where the figure is reduced to a simple shorthand image using one bold color that contrasts sharply with the white surface of the paper – an effect further emphasized by asymmetrically placing the image’s main motif towards the edge of the paper. Thus placed within the “infinity” of the white space, the objects are torn out of their natural context, as if the artist wanted to force us to look at these otherwise banal objects – objects which we encounter every day – as if we were seeing them for the first time.
