"Franz Ackermann calls his florid, trippy paintings 'evasions'... His glimpses of a continuous city, unfolding in an endless cacophony of hotels, towers, pylons and houses hooked together by a florid stitching of swaggering forms, posits the world as a hothouse metropolis, its buildings cabled together by gigantic plants, a final fractal manifestation of a huge cultural overshoot. His city is an ecopolis, blurring life and design in an expressionist melee of cartography, causality, and desire." (M. Ritchie, 'Franz Ackermann, Manfred Pernice, Gregor Schneider - The New City', in: 'art/text', no. 65, May-July 1999, p. 77.)
