Ottensheimerstrasse in Urfahr 2010

Gazmend Freitag drew Ottensheimerstrasse in Urfahr using pencil on paper. Just look at the frenetic energy of the line as it animates this street scene! I can imagine Gazmend Freitag standing on this street in Urfahr, quickly trying to capture the world in front of him. The pencil scratches and smudges across the page, building up a layered effect of light and shadow. See how the strokes seem to dance around each other, giving the scene a lively, almost vibrating quality? The lines have a textural quality, creating a sense of depth and volume. The artist has played with perspective, guiding the viewer's eye down the street, inviting us to explore every nook and cranny. Freitag's drawing reminds me of other artists like Egon Schiele, who used expressive lines to convey intense emotional states. It's as if Freitag is not just recording what he sees, but also how he feels, allowing for a highly personal form of expression. It's a reminder that art is not just about capturing reality, but about interpreting it, transforming it, and infusing it with our own unique perspective.
