In his artistic practice, Summersky presents a multi-layered form of expression characterized by socio-critical reflection and subtle self-irony. As a self-proclaimed „outsider artist,“ he skillfully navigates the space between the conventional and the avant-garde, deliberately challenging the boundaries of expectation. Through a clever interplay of provocation and charm, Summersky invites viewers not merely to observe his works on the surface but to dive deeper into their meaning. His aim is to evoke a wide spectrum of reactions — from a quiet chuckle to serious contemplation.

FRUITS
The minimalist aura of these paintings evokes thoughts of simplicity and the unadulterated enjoyment of fruit. One could say it is a homage to what is essential and timeless — the beauty of nature in its purest form. The subtle symmetry in the arrangement of the fruit resembles an artistic chess match between form and function. Two bananas sway in harmony, as if dancing a graceful waltz of simplicity. The orange, calm in its own sphere, adds a citrusy freshness — a bold contrast to the gentle curves of the grapes, which gleam like small jewels upon the canvas.

FLOTTE FLITZER
The painting series Flotte Flitzer is a fascinating fusion of outsider-art aesthetics and car culture. At first glance, the minimalist drawings may seem as though they were created by a child. Yet upon closer inspection, they reveal a profound artistic sensibility. Each painting expresses a passion for speed and elegance. The crisp lines and vivid color accents form a tribute to the aesthetics of these high-performance vehicles. Flotte Flitzer is more than a collection of paintings; it is an artistic portrayal of the fascination with powerful machines. Every brushstroke sings a hymn to the joy and excitement these dynamic cars inspire. These works remind us that the allure of fast cars is a timeless and universal phenomenon.
