"iz .art" : Silent Witnesses
The Dutch art magazine t 'Circuit wrote in 1990 about the sculptures and art objects of Iz Maglow: "... the German artist has primarily referred to situations of 'standing or sitting face to face', of 'sitting and waiting or expecting'. Their dialogue and silence live on their shared impressions...."
"Silent Witnesses"
Small, abstract sculptures and three-dimensional art objects made of wood, glass and plastic, which have been coated with a structured color surface.

For several weeks, the painter covered his wooden sculptures with many thick, structured layers of acrylic paint, so that the character of the wood disappears and the surfaces receive a new, monochrome "skin" that gives the wood sculptures a meditative aura.

More three-dimensional Art Objects
From the beginning of the 1980s come the "Color Constructs". They continue to develop original ideas that began in coarse-textured paintings and drawings such as those of the "Pause Meeting" Series.
Color Constructs
Color-coated and painted framework structures, which are mainly made of wood, form the "Color Constructs" that thematise the medium "water".

Pause Meeting (Preliminary Studies on the Color Constructs)
"Pause Meeting" is a pun on the German word "Pause" in its meaning of copying something with carbon paper and in its second meaning of take a break.

Similar to a rumor that arises during a break to grow and change afterwards, these drawings transport (copy) some of their information to the next leaf by adding new and leaving out old parts.
