Tiger in his garden at Konigstein, near Frankfurt 

Here, Tiger has just completed "Breakfast", acrylic on card and wall

 

Tiger's complex compositions consist of a variation of strokes and multiplicity of colours which is unique among other German Reductionists and Neo-Reductionist Cats. Tiger's work suggests juvenile play activity by "reducing" or destroying the work to reveal large areas of negative space. This has a serious purpose: The reduction of the completed work becomes the essence of its outer form, which is not the reproduction of reality, but rather, reality discovered through its reduction.
