Lichtundfire is pleased to present MINIMAL IMPACT, a carefully constructed and focused exhibition of mixed media paintings, drawings and works on paper, through the lens of three artists, Augustus Goertz, Alan Steele, and Christopher Stout, all of whom have shown their work in the past at Lichtundfire.

Taking the common meaning of the term to another level of connotation- the Minimal Impact here lies in the sparsity of the application, delicate expression or subtle reference, however resulting in a powerful conceptual language.

In many ways, closely linked, however differing in their practice and in the execution of their mediums, the individual artist’s work strongly stands alone yet ‘inter pares’- within equals- creating a visual dialogue between textures, lines and hues.

Jonathan Goodman’s Review In Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art
