«The visual worlds of the artist Manfred Dörner emerge from the moment, are an expression of spontaneous emotions and experimentation. Chance is allowed to direct (at first). Canvas, colourful oil varnishes, brush, roller, woodcutters, spray can - and off we go.
The still wet paint is removed with wooden strips or newspaper, contours arise automatically, structures inevitably emerge, which the artist takes as a starting point to shape the surface of the painting until it is finished. [...] The massive application of colour paste not infrequently creates relief-like surfaces, sometimes Dörner also works foils, scraps of canvas and photographs into his informal pictorial worlds.» from: https://www.artipool.de/ausstellung/29790--ici.
