Christian Ludwig Attersee remains true to his characteristic visual language in his lithograph Bockministrantin Nr. 2 from 2010. While his early works were dedicated to object and action art, this piece reveals central themes such as sexuality and nature experience. Notably, the grotesque-symbolic representation of a human-like figure integrated into the visage of a goat gives the image a surreal and deeply symbolic quality. Attersee's work is characterized by dense, narrative associations and a tendency to oscillate between reality and fantasy. Bockministrantin Nr. 2invites the viewer to reflect on the interactions of nature, religion, and human identities. In this lithograph, distinguished by bold lines and an almost sketch-like technique, Attersee's ability to condense critique and complex social themes into his depictions becomes evident.
