Hubertus Gojowczyck at Moeller Fine Art

“One senses in Gojowzcyk’s works that they are not exhausted in witty invention. Something higher, something spiritual, is always part of his ‘foolish game of Nothingness,’ though we may not be able to say precisely what it is. It is scarcely more than ephemeral vapor.
