Stefan gross | Impressionism in bioplastic (1964), born in Bendorf, Germany, started his career as an apprentice in the practice of stained glass production. In 1988 he became a master of practice and decided to continue his art studies at the Art Academy HBK Saar in Saarbrücken. In 2006 he developed his own material that he now mainly uses: 'oil plastic'. It is the result of painting industrial plastic with classic oil paint. It is surface and paint in one and allows Stefan Gross to extend the painted surface three-dimensionally. 'Oil plastic' is translucent and behaves like glass at a relatively low temperature. Much of the plastic Gross uses is recycled. In his work Stefan Gross colorfully depicts the fall of a growth-based society. “The world is a serious place these days. This is a problem I deal with in my work. He shows the beauty and potential of industrial production in a retrospective of the times in which we now live.
