“…has created complex series as an artist and stage designer in more than 20 years. His art has no dimension in which it would not succeed. It is effective small as well as monumental, tender as well as roughly original, artificial as well as natural. Nowotny lives his art like the seasons when the crown of his tree grows out and develops new branches and is covered with leaves. Time and again the trunk reappears that carries everything else and supports a natural system that allows for something new to develop over and over again.“ *Oskar Friedl 2012
