Besides the choice of concepts, the choice and arrangement of words, lines or signs is crucial for the individual text image and the symbiosis of writing and image. Endlicher succeeds at it especially well with his new letter collages (“signs”). Superpositions divest the individual letters of their original verbal meaning; they turn into mysterious signs evocative of the codes used by graffiti artists but also of an abstract, geometric way of painting – in any way receiving a new aesthetic meaning due to their condensation. This is an appealing perception and guessing game, because it whets one’s appetite to find out which letters where used in which work. Thus a varied series of images is created with a very different pictorial realisation, with rigid lines and rough or thinly varnished surfaces, with loud and restrained, wildly playful and subtly delicate sections.
