Many of these controversies have found expression primarily in woodcut, watercolor, relief, and also stained glass. In the woodcut cycles, for example, “You are Abraham,” “Kohelet,” “The High Songs of Love,” “I Am Words of Jesus” and “Emmaus”; in watercolor, the cycles “Our Father” and “Stations of the Cross.” In addition, there are works such as the nine three-dimensional colored wood reliefs in the “Christus Pavillon”, the former EXPO 2000 church in the Volkenroda/Thürg monastery.

For the Credo, this great and central prayer of Christianity, I deliberately chose oil painting. The theme required internal as well as external conditions, which allow a stronger dissolution than possible in woodcut, watercolor, relief or stained glass. These techniques did not come into consideration for me for the Credo, because they require much more of a planned and targeted approach and leave less room for spontaneous expression. Oil painting is different. Here I can lose myself in large formats and approach pictorial solutions, discard them, paint over them, correct them. Here the path is exciting for me, which is guided by my intuition. I wanted the process of inner and outer search, the struggle for shape and form to become visible in the picture, especially with this theme.

The Credo cycle represents a novelty in my oeuvre because it is the first time I have dealt with a central theme of Christianity in oil.”

Andreas Felger has created various groups of works and cycles that form thematic units. In the spirit of traveling exhibitions, they can be borrowed from the foundation’s holdings upon request.
