STATEMENT:
"Leo Draxler is a thouronghly sincere and honest person. He did not choose the easy way through life, and
his literaly worked very hard for decades on his art projects.
His subtle and keen understanding takes topically always humanistic and philanthropical themes, which induces him
and allows him to express his uneasiness and his protests satirically in different ways and in varrious artistical
forms.
His choice of material, the different style combinations, the interllectual loan, the bridge to antiquity and his
culture philosophical views are not comparable to anything in this form in the history of art."
