Fritz Bornstück 2023

Schnittlauch 2023 Oil on canvas 24 x 18 cm

Fritz Bornstück’s art brings life to the remnants of human activity. He transforms discarded items—cigarette butts, broken toys, empty bottles—into compositions he dubs “cultural recycling.” In his works, these objects find new roles: some nurturing life, others simply resting in their imperfect beauty. Bornstück’s influences range widely, from classic still life and landscape art to pop culture and the everyday refuse of his surroundings. His pieces blend irony and nostalgia, offering a contemplative, often bittersweet look at the residues of modern life.
