在美國藝術家伊根弗朗茲的繪畫中,他經常將大量的音樂、文學、神學典故編碼成幾乎不可解讀的符號。這些暗藏其中的符號看似人們熟悉的語言,卻又不帶有任何語言的意義。弗朗茲認為,這樣的繪畫傳遞的是一種超越書寫系統的視覺經驗。弗朗茲的畫作同時也具備獨特的空間感,他精心測量視覺空間,並運用鮮豔的色塊製造強烈對比,賦予畫面流動的錯覺。同時,他更利用細微的筆觸變化、明顯的斷層線和位移、線性輪廓的穩定性和局部色塊置入的交替運用,將觀者置於未定的視覺空間,感受其中產生的不確定性。伊根弗朗茲曾在諸多畫廊舉辦個展,如 Galerie Nagel Draxler(柏林、科隆,德國)、Miguel Abreu Gallery(紐約,美國)、C L E A R I N G(紐約,美國)、Tomorrow Gallery(多倫多,加拿大)、Roberts Projects(洛杉磯,美國)、Tilton Gallery(紐約,美國)、Michael Jon Gallery(邁阿密,美國)以及Fused Space(舊金山,美國)等。此外,弗朗茲也曾參與 Essl Museum(維也納,奧地利)、Emily Harvey Foundation(紐約,美國)、Andrew Roth(紐約,美國)、James Fuentes(紐約,美國)以及巴哈馬雙年展(底特律,美國)等多個群展。弗朗茲目前工作與生活在紐約與康乃狄克,美國。
