In the fall and winter of 2023 a small number of Constructivist inspired geometric
paintings began circulating on train networks in Italy and Germany. The artworks were
unusual in that they were unsigned and created using a mechanical device, resulting in
minimal abstract geometric compositions that would not be possible using freehand
techniques. The Neu Konstrukt publication documents these interventions and includes
an introductory text by Australian graffiti researcher Professor Lachlan MacDowall and a longer text by urban art researcher Richard Keville and German art historian Dr. Harald
Hinz who share their thoughts on the aesthetic, sociological and art-historical aspects of train painting as it relates to Constructivist aesthetics at the beginning and end of
Modernism.
