As one pattern leads to another, the artist gets with the flow and sees where it leads him, operating in-between figuration and abstraction. Incorporating vibrant colours and a variety of mediums, such as acrylics, spray-paints, pencil and oil pastels, Gretscher creates a dream-like spaces with an ambiguous, ever-developing dialogues within them. From one angle tantalisingly mysterious conversations, from the next, completely identifiable to the human story. Even the literal titles keep reflecting new interpretation.

The artist devotes himself to a subject that is completely ethereal, immediate and intangible. Creating entirely original worlds his immersive mixed-media canvases that at the same time reveals an often subtle, sometimes strong refraction of our own. Unparalleled and humanist, his pieces bristle with unfathomable magic.
